A simplified analytical procedure is described for the determination of diuron residues in a large number of wheat grain samples. The sample is subjected to Soxhlet extraction with acetone, the extract is dissolved in an acetone-aqueous phase (1+5) and then extracted with petroleum ether, and diuron is extracted into methylene chloride and carbon tetrachloride. Electron capture GLC is the determinative step, with ultraviolet spectrophotometry as an alternative technique.
