“…Many studies have investigated residues of metalaxyl or cyazofamid in crops using high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (Lee et al, ; Malhat, ; Singh & Tandon, ; Tandon & Singh, ; Zheng, Feng, Ge, Lv, & Xie, ), ultra‐performance liquid chromatography (Liu et al, ), gas chromatography (GC) (Rani, V. K. Sharma, Rattan, Singh, & Sharma, ; Rattan & Sharma, ) and liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC‐MS/MS) (Lee et al, ; Li et al, ; Ramezani & Shahriari, ; Zhu et al, ). For example, Zheng et al () used a QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe) HPLC method to detect trace amounts of metalaxy in watermelon, and the average recovery rates were between 92.20 and 98.90%.…”
