Abstract:Tolfenpyrad is an insecticide and acaricide of the pyrazole class, which has been used to control pests in cereal, legume and vegetable crops. Despite its high efficiency, this insecticide is considered highly toxic to humans by Brazilian legislation. Therefore, this study aims to optimize and validate liquid-liquid extraction with low temperature purification followed by analysis by high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection to determine tolfenpyrad in water. The results showed that the… Show more
