A thermospray liquid chromatographic-mass spectrometric (TSP LC-MS) method has been developed for the analysis of the herbicide metribuzin and its three major metabolites in plant tissue. Metribuzin and its metabolites exhibited widely varying sensitivities in positive-ion TSP, with metribuzin being the most sensitive and deaminated diketo metribuzin being the least sensitive. All four compounds of interest were detected in an extract of a soybean plant which had been treated with metribuzin.
