Determination of Avermectins Residues in Soybean, Bean, and Maize Using a QuEChERS-Based Method and Ultra-High-Performance Liquid Chromatography Coupled to Tandem Mass Spectrometry

Soybean, maize, and bean are crops of great economic importance, but in recent years have suffered with infestations of the caterpillar <i>Helicoverpa armigera</i>, with the main reason being the resistance of this pest to most pesticides. Avermectin emamectin benzoate was recently relea...
