Abstract: | Methods for the extraction and quantification of flurprimidol residues in Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum), soil, and water are described. The compound was detected and quantified by gas chromatography (GC) with a thermionic specific detector. Its identity was confirmed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS) with detection at m/e 40–320. Recoveries from samples spiked with flurprimidol at 10–10,000 ng ml–1 or g–1 averaged 86.8% for Eurasian watermilfoil shoots, 85.2% for roots, 79.3% for loam soil, and 93.3% for water. In a small-scale experiment under field conditions, approximately 88% of the applied flurprimidol dissipated in 4 weeks. The majority of recovered flurprimidol was found in the water and upper 5 cm soil layer. The half-life of the compound in water was 6.8–8 days during June/July 1989. |
