Effect of humic acids, nitrate and oxygen on the photodegradation of the flubendiamide insecticide: identification of products

Trace analysis of flubendiamide in bee pollen using enhanced matrix removal-lipid sorbent clean-up and liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry

“…In the present study, attention is focused on the insecticide flubendiamide (see Supplementary Material, Figure 1S), which is a relatively new type of systemic insecticide belonging to the chemical class of benzenedicarboxamides or diamides of phthalic acid [7]. It is a compound which is extremely effective, especially against lepidopteron pests [8], and relatively safe for non-target organisms [9]. The use of this insecticide is currently registered for more than 200 different crops worldwide [10].…”
