Hs. Rathore et S. Mital, SPOT-TEST ANALYSIS OF PESTICIDES - TLC DETECTION OF MANCOZEB, JPC. Journal of planar chromatography, modern TLC, 10(2), 1997, pp. 124-127
A new color reaction based on the formation of black lead sulfide by t
reatment of mancozeb with alkaline plumbite solution has been develope
d for the TLC detection of mancozeb. The lower limit of detection on a
silica gel plate is 0.45 mu g spot(-1). Fungicides other than dithioc
arbamates do not interfere with the test. The test can also be applied
for the detection of mancozeb in soil extracts.
