Three-year pesticide monitoring in ditches of the apple orchard region 'Altes Land'

The data presented in this file are related to the research article ‘Süß A, Bischoff G, Mueller A, Buhr L (2006) Chemical and biological monitoring of the load of plant protection products and of zoocoenoses in ditches of the orchard region ‘Altes Land’. Nachrichtenblatt des Deutschen Pflanzenschutzdienstes 58:28-42’ which is only available in German language. The pesticide data presented here were acquired in four ditches in Lower Saxony, Germany (three ditches located in apple plantations, one ditch located in grassland) between 2001 and 2003. Two different monitoring strategies have been applied; event-driven sampling after pesticide applications and weekly integrated sampling using automatic water samplers. A total of 70 active substances have been monitored while farmers applied 25 active substances. LC-MS/MS (PE Sciex API 2000), GC-MS (Finnigan GCQ), GC coupled with electron capture detector (ECD) and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) were used for identification and quantification of the target substances.本文件所载数据关联研究论文《Süß A, Bischoff G, Mueller A, Buhr L (2006) 阿尔特斯兰（Altes Land）果园区域沟渠内植物保护产品（plant protection products）与动物群落（zoocoenoses）负荷的化学与生物学监测》，刊载于《德国植物保护服务通报》（Nachrichtenblatt des Deutschen Pflanzenschutzdienstes）58卷：28-42页，该论文仅以德语发表。本次数据集涉及的农药数据采集于2001年至2003年间，覆盖德国下萨克森州的四条沟渠，其中三条位于苹果种植园，一条位于草地。研究采用两种差异化监测策略：一是农药施用后的事件驱动采样，二是借助自动水质采样器开展的每周综合采样。本数据集共监测了70种活性成分，而当地农户实际施用的活性成分为25种。实验采用LC-MS/MS（PE Sciex API 2000）、GC-MS（Finnigan GCQ）、气相色谱-电子捕获检测器（GC-ECD）以及电感耦合等离子体光发射光谱法（inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry, ICP-OES）对目标物质进行定性与定量分析。
