Several physicochemical properties including water solubility, vapor pressure, and hydrolysis of bistrifluron benzoylphenylurea insecticide developed in Korea, were measured based on OECD guidelines for testing of chemicals and Toxic Substances Control Act Test guidelines. Water solubility was low showing 30 ${\mu}g/l$ at $25^{\circ}C$ and in hydrolysis study, half-life at $20^{\circ}C$ was 10.9 days (pH 9.0) and was stable in pH 7.0 solution. At $40^{\circ}C$ hydrolysis rate was 20.6 days (pH 7.0) and 1.5 days (pH 9.0). The vapor pressure of bistrifluron was not obtained from vapor pressure experiments at $25^{\circ}C$ because the bistrifluron was not detected. Therefore, the vapor pressure was determined to be ${\leq}\;2.05{\times}10^{-8}$ torr which was calculated to apply the detection limit (50 ng) of bistrifluron. And this value is suggests it would not give environmental contamination by volatilization.

A new insecticide, bistrifluron acts as an inhibitor of insect development and interferes with the cuticle formation of insects. Since it shows low acute oral and dermal toxicities, it can be one of potent insecticides. Based on X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy and molecular modeling, the structural studies of bistrifluron have been carried out.

This study investigated residual characteristics of bistrifluron and fluopicolide in Korean cabbage, and suggested the pre-harvest residue limits (PHRLs) based on their dissipation patterns and biological half-lives. The pesticides were sprayed on Korean cabbage in two different region under greenhouse conditions at the recommended dose, respectively. The samples for residue analysis were harvested at 0 (2 hr), 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 days after treatment, and analyzed by HPLC after clean-up with Florisil SPE. The limit of quantification (LOQ) was $0.03mg\;kg^{-1}$ for bistrifluron and fluopicolide, and the recoveries ranged from 87.2-110.6% with below 5% of RSD. The biological half-lives of field I and field II were 3.9 and 4.2 days for bistrifluron and 4.9 and 4.2 days for fluopicolide, respectively. The PHRL of bistrifluron and fluopicolide were recommended as 3.83 and $3.23mg\;kg^{-1}$ for 10 days before harvest, respectively.

BACKGROUND: This study was performed to calculate the biological half-lives and regression coefficient of bistrifluron and cyenopyrafen dissipation in peach and to estimate the Pre-Harvest Residue Limits (PHRLs). METHODS AND RESULTS: The bistrifluron and cyenopyrafen were prepared on the basis of good agricultural practice for peach and treated with a single application. Peaches were harvested at 0, 1, 3, 5, 7, 10 and 14 days after application, prepared for analysis, and analyzed by HPLC-DAD. The limits of quantitation (LOQ) of bistifluron and cyenopyrafen were 0.02 mg/kg and 0.04 mg/kg, respectively. The recoveries of bistrifluron and cyenopyrafen were 99.5~108.7% and 88.4~98.9% at two different concentration levels. The biological half-lives of field I (Sejong) and field II (Pyeongtaek) were 6.1 and 7.0 days for bistifluron, and 6.3 and 7.0 days for cyenopyrafen, respectively. The 95% confidence intervals of dissipation rate constants of bistrifluron in peach were 0.0805~0.1457 and 0.0577~0.1417 for field I and field II, respectively, and those of cyenopyrafen were 0.0911~0.1278 and 0.0576~0.1417, respectively. CONCLUSION: Residue dissipation of bistrifluron and cyenopyrafen in peach were similar to that of correction to sample weight difference during the harvest periods. This study suggests that residue dissipation rate would be helpful to set the PHRLs that protect public health.

BACKGROUND: Pesticide residue analysis is essentially required for safety evaluation of agricultural products. Bistrifluron and chlorantraniliprole have been currently considered as potentials to deeply evaluate their residues in agricultural products because they are frequently found in strawberry. This work was performed to investigate the residual patterns of bistrifluron and chlorantraniliprole in strawberry after harvest. METHODS AND RESULTS: Strawberry was treated with bistrifluron and chlorantraniliprole 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 and 10 days before harvest under greenhouse conditions. The strawberry samples were subjected to solvent and solid phase extractions followed by LC-MS/MS analysis. There covery percentages of bistrifluron and chlorantraniliprole for tified in the control samples ranged from approximately 82 to 103% with the method limit of 0.005 mg/kg. The concentrations of bistrifluron and chlorantraniliprole in strawberry samples decreased significantly in 10 days after treatment, giving the safety levels of 0.04 to 0.06 mg/kg at 10 days after application, as considered maximum residue limit. The half-lives of bistrifluron and chlorantraniliprole based on first order kinetics were determined to 6.3 days and 6.4 days, respectively. CONCLUSION: Bistrifluron and chlorantraniliprole are suggested to use in strawberry 10 days before harvest to reach residual safety levels.

EPN-resistant diamondback moth were tested the developmental characteristics, longevity, fecundity and synergistic effect with synergists when treated with the bistrifluron, an inhibitor of chitin synthesis. Inhibition rate of egg hatch was below at the recommended concentration (50 ppm) to the EPN-resistant strain than EPN-non selected strain, however, mortality within 24hr after hatching was showed as 50-60%. They did not show the difference between two strains. Mortality of larval instars were showed effective to two strains with no difference. Inhibition rate of emergence did not show any effect when treated with pupae. Moreover, they did not affect to the longevity and fecundity. When bistrifluron was treated at 50 ppm to the adult, however, longevity and fecundity was decreased with no difference between two strains. Bistrifluron to the EPN-resistant strain showed synergistic effect as high as 137.7 and 73.1 folds with synergist such as PBO (microsomal oxidase inhibitor) and polyoxin B (chitin synthetase inhibitor), respectively.
