M. Syhre et al., PROBLEMS IN ANALYZING TRINEXAPAC-ETHYL - A NEW PLANT-GROWTH REGULATOR, Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 45(1), 1997, pp. 178-179
A method for the determination of trinexapac-ethyl had proposed the us
e of HPLC with three-column switching. An unproved method, taking adva
ntage of SPE cleanup and GC/MS for analyses, is described. Analyses of
wheat and rape were used as experiments to evaluate the method. Rapid
decomposition of trinexapac-ethyl was stated and must be confirmed. T
herefore, spiked extract had to be used to determine the detection lim
it of the GC/MS method.
