The sample decomposition of the carbon disulfide evolution method for the determination of dithiocarbamate residues was carried out in a closed vial in the presence of hexane. The evolved carbon disulfide was extracted by the organic solvent and injected in a flow system for its quantification as copper complex. The conditions for batch decomposition, flow injection determination, and association of both were investigated with sodium diethyldithiocarbamate as model substance. An one-channel flow system was employed where the carrier stream was the ethanolic ethylenediamine/copper solution. The determination range was of 0.01-1.26 micrograms of CS2, with a relative standard deviation of 0.06% (n = 10), with a sample throughput of 45 samples/h. The association of the batch decomposition with the flow system was carried out with the fungicide mancozeb and was applied to the analysis of its residue in potato, lettuce, cucumber, and green bean crops. The approach allowed the analysis of 11 samples in triplicate in 2 h, with recoveries between 85% and 92% and relative standard deviation about 2%.
