    Abstract:
    Winter is the key period for the control of apple diseases, and fungicides are needed to protect the trunk or main branches. Fungicide residue in apple tree bark is an important basis for the action of the pesticide, but there are no reports on analytical methods or dissipation patterns. In this work, thiophanate-methyl, carbendazim, tebuconazole and pyraclostrobin were selected as typical fungicides and a new QuEChERS-HPLC-VWD(QuEChERS extraction followed by high-performance liquid chromatography detection with a variable wavelength detector) analytical method was developed to estimate their residue kinetics in apple tree bark during the winter months. In the pretreatment step, the sorbent for the clean-up of extracts was optimized as 60 mg/ml primary secondary amine and a gradient-elution model followed by a variable wavelength detection was developed for instrumental analysis. Then this method was validated and applied to the analysis of apple tree bark samples with the linearity range of 0.010-50.00 mg/L, quantification limit range of 0.028-0.080 mg/kg and recovery range of 86.1-101.4%. The dissipation kinetics of thiophanate-methyl and pyraclostrobin could be described by the first-order and two-phase kinetics models, respectively. For carbendazim and tebuconazole, two new models were developed to describe their residue kinetics.
