Abstract
The article deals with the development of a method for the determination of diflubenzuron in agricultural products using HPLC with a diode array detector. The samples were extracted with acetonitrile, and then purified by solid-phase extraction using C18E and PSA adsorbents and a Diapak C cartridge. The developed method was tested on the green mass of plants, potato tubers, corn grain, soybeans, sunflower seeds, rapeseed, and vegetable oil in the concentration range from 0.025 to 0.25 mg/kg. The average values of recovery were 81–91% with an error of 1.3–2.3%.
