Residues of clopyralide (3,6-dichloropicolinic acid) in strawberries and their changes.
Residues of clopyralide in strawberries treated with herbicide preparation Lontrel 300 were determined using gas chromatographic method. The decrease of clopyralide content during the processing of contaminated fruits was observed. The rate of decomposition of this compound in model solutions (held at 75 degrees C, pH 3.6) followed first-order kinetics. 2,5-dicloropyridine was proved to originate under these conditions from parent compound.
