Tralkoxydim is a selective and systemic herbicide that belongs to the group of cyclohexanedione oximes. It is an acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACCase) inhibitor that prevents the incorporation of acetate into fatty acids and blocks the production of phospholipids used in building new membranes. Tralkoxydim is used for post-emergence control of annual grass weeds including Avena spp., Lolium spp., Setaria viridis, Phalaris spp., Alopecurus myosuroides, and Apera spica-venti in wheat and barley.
According to the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011 of 25th May 2011, tralkoxydim is not approved for use in the European Union (EU) as a plant protection agent, following the Regulation (EC) No. 1107/2009. But default maximum residue levels of 0.01 mg/kg to 0.05 mg/kg have been set for the presence of tralkoxydim (measured as the sum of its constituent isomers) in products of plant and animal origin, according to the EU Reg. No 2016/1015.

Application

The certified reference material (CRM) is intended to be used as a calibrant for chromatography and other analytical techniques.
Tralkoxydim CRM may also be used as given below:

• Evaluation of 252 pesticides extracted from surface water samples by solid-phase extraction (SPE) using liquid chromatography quadrupole-orbitrap high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry
• Extraction of 250 pesticide residues by QuEChERS method from 103 processed fruit samples and their analysis by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS)
• Screening of 448 pesticide residues in 10 samples of fruits and vegetables by a semiautomated method based on ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization quadrupole-Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC/ESI Q-Orbitrap)
• Development of a semi-automated method for the analysis of 261 pesticides and 41 environmental contaminants in catfish muscle samples by QuEChERS sample extraction and low-pressure GC-MS/MS and UHPLC-MS/MS, following an automated robotic micro-SPE clean-up
• Screening and quantification of 569 pesticides in honeysuckle samples by a combination of ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) and quadrupole-Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry
• Analysis of 260 pesticides in high water content fruit and vegetables by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)
