Persistence and Dissipation Kinetics of Clothianidin in the Soil of Tropical Sugarcane Ecosystem
2013
Ramasubramanian, Thirumalaiandi
Persistence and dissipation kinetics of clothianidin were studied in sandy loam soil of sugarcane ecosystem by adopting a rapid and sensitive analytical method. This single-step analytical method was observed to be superior to multi-step conventional method reported to quantify the residues of clothianidin in soil, in terms of recovery, sensitivity and rapidity besides cost-effectiveness. The recoveries of clothianidin were in the range of 93.19 ± 3.07-95.43 ± 2.09 % at 0.01-0.1 μg/g level of fortification in soil. The limit of quantification of the method was 0.01 μg/g. Dissipation pattern of clothianidin followed first-order kinetics with a good fit (R 2 > 0.96). Half-life of clothianidin was 17.2 and 17.4 days at the single (50 g a.i./ha) and double doses (100 g a.i./ha), respectively. Clothianidin was observed to be more persistent than imidacloprid and thiamethoxam in the soil of tropical sugarcane ecosystem. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.
