    Abstract:
    An improved analytical method was developed for the simultaneous quantification of several plant growth regulators and fungicides (carbendazim, pyrimethanil, metalaxyl, triadimefon, paclobutrazol, thiophanate, prochloraz, dimethomorph, difenoconazole, (4-chlorophenoxy)-acetic acid, (2,4-dichlorophenoxy)-acetic acid, thiadiazuron, forchlorfenuron and gibberellins) in fruits followed by ultra high performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. Samples were extracted and purified using a modified QuEChERS method. Different extraction solvents and sorbents in the QuEChERS method were compared. Optimum results were followed by the addition of 1% acetic acid in acetonitrile; C18 sorbent was added due to the acidic nature of several pesticides. The recoveries of the pesticides were in the range 73.7-118.4%, with relative standard deviations lower than 16.63%. Limits of detection ranged from 0.1-1.0 μg/kg. The method presented here is simple, rapid, sensitive and can be applied to large-scale monitoring programs to screen the presences of pesticides in fruits.
