Potassium dihydrogen phosphonate had been allowed as
a plant strengthener
in organic viticulture in the European Union only until 2013, supporting
the control of grapevine downy mildew. Therefore, low or nondetectable
levels are a prerequisite for marketing of organic wines and, consequently,
validated analytical methods are of major interest. Herein, two methods
based on ion chromatography conductivity detection (IC-CD) or ion
chromatography inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (IC-ICP-MS)
for the determination of phosphonic acid (H3PO3) from 14 different plant matrices of Vitis vinifera L., wine, and soil were developed, validated, and compared. Extraction
recoveries ranged from 95.1 to 99.3%. Limits of quantification (LOQ)
ranged in liquid and solid samples from 3.8 to 16.8 μg/kg and
0.08 to 2.41 mg/kg for ICP-MS detection and from 39.9 to 593.7 μg/kg
and 3.51 to 58.7 mg/kg for CD, respectively. Data on a current anonymized
selection of 100 conventionally and 30 organically produced wines
are briefly presented to demonstrate the suitability of the method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
