Paclobutrazol

HPLC Analysis of Fungicide Paclobutrazol on Coresep 100 Mixed-Mode Column
Application description

Paclobutrazol is plant growth retardant and triazole-based fungicide. It is hydrophobic and slightly basic in nature. We have developed a method for analysis on Paclobutrazol on Coresep 100 mixed-mode HPLC column. The compound is retained by combination of strong reversed-phase mechanism and weak cation-exchange mechanism. This method is MS compatible and can be used for analysis of paclobutrazol and other pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides in various environmental matrices as well as in crop formulations.
