Behaviour studies of the fungicide cymoxanil in two strains of the fungus Botrytis cinerea and in haemolymph of locust and lobster. I. In situ monitoring by internal surface reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography.

A method for following the metabolism of the fungicide cymoxanil in various biological media is described. By using a recently developed high-performance liquid chromatographic method, with an internal surface reversed-phase column, it is unnecessary to clean up the sample before analysis. Thus this technique makes monitoring in fungi as well as in arthropod haemolymph easier and faster.
