PG - 550-6 LID - 10.1080/03601234.2011.583881 [doi] AB - A simple and accurate method for the analysis of acibenzolar-S-methyl (benzo[1,2,3]thiadiazole-7-carbothioic acid-S-methyl ester; CGA 245 704; ASM) and its major conversion product, benzo[1,2,3]thiadiazole-7-carboxylic acid (CGA 210 007; BTC), in soils is presented. ASM extraction from soil samples was performed using acetonitrile and BTC was extracted with a mixture of potassium phosphate buffer (0.5 M, pH 3) and acetonitrile (70:30 %, v/v). Both extracts were directly analyzed in a high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection (HPLC-DAD) system. Pesticide separation was achieved on a C18 (4.6 mm x 150 mm, 5 mum) analytical column with a isocratic elution of acetonitrile:water 40:60 % (v/v) with 0.6 mL L(-)(1) acetic acid at a flow rate of 1 mL min(-)(1). Linear regression coefficients (r (2)) of the external calibration curves were always above 0.9997. The limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) of the method were 0.005 and 0.02 mg kg(-)(1) for ASM, and 0.01 and 0.05 mg kg(-)(1) for BTC, respectively. Recoveries were investigated at six fortification levels and were in the range of 90-120 % for ASM and 74-96 % for BTC with relative standard deviations (RSDs) below 11 % in all cases. The method was also validated by analyzing freshly spiked soil samples with 2.7% organic matter content at 0.5 mg kg(-)(1) level, with slightly lower recovery values only for ASM. Moreover, recoveries for intermediate aged residues of the analytes were similar to fresh residues. This method was also applied to determine ASM half-life (t((1/2)) = 8.7 h) and the rate of the acidic metabolite formation.
