WE ESTABLISHED A UNIVERSAL DETECTION METHOD (MODIFIED QUECHERS COUPLED WITH GC-MS/MS) OF BENZOTHIAZOLE RESIDUES IN THREE GRAINS, WHICH PROVIDING HIGH LINEARITY (R2 > 0.999), SENSITIVITY (LODS= 0.001 MG/KG, LOQS=0.002-0.005 MG/KG), ACCURACY (RECOVERIES = 88.18-118.75%) AND PRECISION (RSDS < 4.78%). THE INSECTICIDAL EFFICACY ORDER OF BENZOTHIAZOLE WAS 30 °C ≥ 10 °C > 20°C AND CORN > WHEAT > RICE. TEMPERATURE POSITIVELY AFFECTED THE ACCUMULATION/DISSIPATION RATE OF BENZOTHIAZOLE. RICE WAS THE MOST EASILY ACCUMULATED AND DISSIPATED GRAIN FOR BENZOTHIAZOLE RESIDUES, WHILE CORN ACCUMULATED BENZOTHIAZOLE MORE THAN WHEAT BUT LESS THAN RICE, WITH DISSIPATION SLOWER THAN WHEAT AND RICE.: CONCLUSION: Our results provide important references for the application of benzothiazole and even other fumigants.
