Popis: A rapid, sensitive method for the determination of norflurazon in 4 soils is described. Data on the initial soil metabolite is also obtained in soils with low organic matter. The method consists of extraction of soil samples with methanol, filtration, liquid chromatographic separation of methanol-soluble components by using a C18 column, and fluorescence detection with excitation at 294 nm and emission measured at 398 nm. Recoveries from fortified soils were >90% for norflurazon and >80% for desmethylnorflurazon from the Shipps, Lexington, and Harkey soils. Average percent relative standard deviations over the soils examined was 5.5% for norflurazon and 8.7% for desmethylnorflurazon. The limit of detection for norflurazon was 10 ng/g soil, whereas the limit of detection for desmethylnorflurazon was 100 ng/g soil because of its smaller relative detector response.
