Pesticide use leads to increased crop yields and improvements to the quality of food produced, but pesticide residue levels in foods are of increasing concern to the public (1,2). There are many broad-spectrum herbicides that have been designated as reduced-risk pesticides for humans, nontarget plants, and environmental resources. Bromoxynil octanoate, 2,6-dibromo-4-cyanophenyl octanoate, is widely used as a herbicide in the production of corn and other crops (3). There are some reports related to the use and efficacy of bromoxynil octanoate on plants to control their companion weeds (4-7).
In recent years, the development of sophisticated analytical methods that ...
