LARA SANDOVAL, Adriana Elizabeth; GARCIA COLMENARES, José Mauricio y CHAPARRO ACUNA, Sandra Patricia. Validation of the voltammetric method for the determination of residues of paraquat applied to potato crops. Acta Agron. [online]. 2015, vol.64, n.4, pp.336-341.

Pesticides quantification is an expensive work and it is inaccessible for farmers and health authorities and supervisory entities. This paper describes a simple, economical and acsequible methodology for quantification of carbofuran, methomyl and mancozeb in potatoe (Solanum tuberosum). The square wave electrochemical voltammetric method to quantify Paraquat was validated. It used Britton-Robinson buffer as solution supporting electrolyte, working electrode glassy carbon, Ag/AgCl as reference electrode and platinum as counter electrode. Herbicidewas extracted from potato through solid-liquid partitionmethodology, the results obtained by voltammetry were compared with UV-Vis spectroscopy,and we can observe that voltammetric method generates accurate and reliable results. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of paraquat in potato samples with satisfactory results.
