Accurate and Reliable Residue Analysis for Mesotrione
Overview
Mesotrione is a selective herbicide primarily used in maize crops. It is a synthetic compound inspired by leptospermone, a natural substance found in the bottlebrush tree (Callistemon citrinus). It inhibits the enzyme 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) and is sold under brand names such as Callisto and Tenacity. First marketed by Syngenta in 2001, mesotrione has become a widely used herbicide due to its effectiveness on a broad range of weed species.
Uses
Mesotrione is used for the selective contact and residual control of broadleaf weeds in field corn, seed corn, yellow popcorn, and sweet corn. It is effective both pre- and post-emergence and can be applied to soil or sprayed on existing weeds. It controls a wide range of commercially important broadleaf weeds, making it a valuable tool for farmers.
Regulatory
The World Health Organization (WHO) and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) have determined an acceptable daily intake for mesotrione of 0-0.5 mg/kg bodyweight. The Codex Alimentarius database lists maximum residue limits for mesotrione in various food products, most set at its 0.01 mg/kg limit of detection.
Monitoring
Monitoring for mesotrione residues is essential for ensuring compliance with regulatory limits. Our high-purity reference materials for mesotrione are tested according to international quality requirements and meet the highest industrial standards, providing reliable data for laboratories conducting food and environmental analysis.
Health Impact
Human Toxicity
The LD50 of mesotrione is over 5000 mg/kg (rats, oral), indicating it is practically non-toxic by oral ingestion. However, it can cause serious eye irritation. First aid information is included with the product label.
Environmental Impact
Effects on Wildlife
Mesotrione is very toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects. Its ecotoxicology is well-documented and summarized in various databases, highlighting the need for careful management and application to minimize environmental impact.
Safety Measures
Safety measures for handling mesotrione include wearing protective equipment and following precautionary statements such as P273 (Avoid release to the environment), P391 (Collect spillage), and P501 (Dispose of contents/container in accordance with local regulations).
