Pesticide Standards

Applications Dicamba is a herbicide. Dicamba functions by increasing plant growth rate. At sufficient concentrations, the plant outgrows its nutrient supplies and dies. Dicamba has been approved by the EPA for use on genetically modified soybeans and cotton.Environmental toxin on US EPA Toxic Release Inventory list (TRI) list. References Oehler, D.D., et al.: J. Agric. Food Chem., 28, 685 (1980); Griffin, J., et al.: Weed Techno., 27, 696 (2013); Chem. and Eng. News, Nov. 14, 2016, p. 17

Applications Tebuconazole is an ergosterol biosynthesis inhibitor present in most pesticide formulations (1,2). Various uptake is observed in plants (3). Drinking water Contaminant Candidate List 3 - CCL 3 as per United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Environmental contaminants; Food contaminants. Useful in cannabis testing kits as a component of pesticide mixes (P698235). Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package References 1.

Applications Hexaflumuron is an benzoylphenylurea based chitin synthesis inhibitor used against Ephestia figulilella. Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package References Sun, C.X., et al.: Bull. Environ. Contamin.

Applications Fluroxypyr-1-methylheptyl Ester is a derivative of (F598780), a systemic and selective herbicide. Fluroxypyr is used for the control of broad-leaved weeds in small grain cereals, maize, pastures, range land and turf. Fluroxypyr is a synthetic auxin. Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package References Radivojevic, L. et al.: Pesticidi, 16, 181 (2001); Roberts, H.A. et al.: Tests Agrochem.

Applications Isotope labelled Acephate (A130850) acts as a contact and systemic insecticide in agriculture through pesticide formulations. Through perinatal exposure studies, it has been linked to hyperglycemia, changes in lipid metabolism and type 2 diabetes (1). Acephate exposed Drosophila melanogaster potentially display an L-ascorbic acid mediated defense (2). Drinking water contaminant candidate list 3 (CCL 3) compound as per United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), environmental, and food contaminants. Standard for Pesticide detection. Useful in cannabis testing kits as a component of pesticide mixes (P698240). References Ribeiro, T., et al.: Toxicology, 372, 12-21 (2016); Rajak, P., et al.: J. Hazard. Mater., 321, 690-702 (2017)
