    Abstract:
    Reduced pesticides use, alongside increased organic farming, has created a need for new biological products, such as thiocyclam, to control pests. Thiocyclam has scarcely been studied, making the study of its degradation in fruits and vegetables, such as tomatoes, an urgent requirement. To monitor thiocyclam metabolites in tomato, dissipation studies were carried out using a liquid chromatography-Orbitrap mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Orbitrap MS) method for 60-days after foliar application. Thiocyclam was not persistent (DT50 < 15 days), but nereistoxin - its primary metabolite - remained present in the tomatoes for >60 days. Four nereistoxin metabolites, detected at low concentrations (<100 µg/kg), were also monitored. This is the first time a study has provided dissipation patterns for thiocyclam and nereistoxin. The results obtained suggest revising the legislation concerning these compounds is required. Toxicological studies must also be carried out because there is no toxicity data currently for thiocyclam or nereistoxin.
