Fig. 2From: Optimizing ethyl formate fumigation in greenhouse cucurbit crops for efficient control of major agricultural pests, Myzus persicae and Thrips palmiEstablishment of residue evaluation of ethyl formate (EF) using headspace gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (HS–GC–MS). a Hydrolysis reaction of EF, b solvent optimization for separation between ethanol (EtOH) and EF using acetonitrile or n-Hexane. c 1 g of soil or leaf in headspace vial for autosampler. d Evaluation of basal content in ethanol and EF in 1 g of watermelon leaf. Retention time (RT) of three chemicals was 1.24 min for carbon dioxide (CO2), 1.35 min for EtOH, and 1.44 min for EF, respectively. e Standard curve of EF with 1 g of soil and each crops leaf for consideration of basal contentBack to article page
