A differential pulse voltammetric method for the determination of fenobucarb is proposed. This N-methylcarbamate pesticide is hydrolyzed in alkaline medium (0.02 M NaOH during ten min), and the resulting product 2-sec-butylphenol is oxidized at the glassy carbon electrode giving rise to a peak at a potential near 750 mV (pH 3.5). The linear relationship between Ip and fenobucarb concentration was established up to 1 . 0 0~ M concentration, the detection limit was 3.68 x M concentration (n = 11, p = 0.05). The method has been satisfactorily applied to the analysis of water samples spiked with the pesticide.
