Determination of diquat and paraquat in agricultural commodities
 Prchal, Miroslav ; Hrbek,, Vojtěch (referee) ; Petra,, Kosubová (advisor)
This diploma thesis focuses on polar pesticides and their analysis in agricultural commodities. One of the aims was establishing of the method for quantitative determination of diquat and paraquat using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. Optimization parameters based on the European reference laboratories recommendations, availability of laboratory equipment and method suitability for routine analyses were taken into account. Extraction of analytes was based on shaking with acidified methanol with formic or hydrochloric acid. Considering the matrix complexity, purification with sorbents and/or acetonitrile precipitation were applied. Method validation was carried out on several levels for selected representative agricultural commodities. Part of the thesis is a field experiment where potatoes plants were sprayed with the diquat active substance. Samples of treated plants and tubers were analyzed for diquat residues. The validated method was also used for screening of diquat and paraquat residues in feed samples collected within official controls of the Central Institute for Supervising and Testing in Agriculture in 2020. The final method enables to analyze diquat and paraquat with sensitivity suitable for the maximal residue limit controls.
