A sensitive square-wave voltammetric method for the determination of Imidacloprid (IMD) was developed using electrochemically pretreated boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode. Aqueous solutions were prepared with Confidor 200 SL as the commercial formulation of IMD. Sodium sulfate (Na₂SO₄) was used as supporting electrolyte. The influence of operating parameters, such as the pH of the medium, frequency, pulse amplitude, scan increment and the concentration of IMD was investigated. An irreversible cathodic peak, corresponding to the reduction of IMD is observed at -1.21 V (vs. SCE) and the electrode reaction was controlled by adsorption. Under optimized conditions, the square-wave reduction peak current was linear over the concentration range of (30-200 μmol L^-1) with a detection and quantification limits of 8.60 μmol L^-1 and 28.67 μmol L^-1, respectively. The results were compared with spectrophotometry and HPLC methods under some conditions and found to be in good agreement. To investigate applicability to real samples, the proposed method was applied to the determination of IMD in plum juice.
