An improved method for determination of hydramethylnon residues in pasture grass is described. The method uses (1) the hydrochloride salt of hydramethylnon to improve its water solubility and (2) an acid-methanol precipitation to remove chlorophylls while leaving the analyte in solution. The liquid chromatographic method has a validated sensitivity of 0.05 ppm with controls showing < 0.004 ppm. The overall average recovery from 0.05 to 0.50 ppm was 98%, with a standard deviation of 11%. Samples showing a positive response (0.05 ppm or higher) and requiring mass spectrometric confirmation are directly amenable to liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry without additional sample preparation.
