ABSTRACT

An analytic method for determination of (4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy)acetic acid (MCPA) residues in soil under cereal cultivation was elaborated. Estrification of the herbicide with methanol has been performed and followed by solid phase microextraction (SPME). Obtained results showed traces of MCPA within the studied soil samples up to 8 weeks, after the herbicide treatment. The herbicide moved within the soil profile to 20 cm of depht. Possible application of the SPME/GC-MS method for monitoring of the MCPA residues within soil under winter wheat cultivation is discussed.

Key words: chlorophenoxy herbicides, winter wheat, MCPA, SPME, GC-MS.
