Duration:
6 d
Dose descriptor:
other: ED50
Effect conc.:
26.9 other: mg/l
Basis for effect:
growth
Details on results:
ED = effective dose

Any other information on results incl. tables

Reduction in fresh weight after 6 days (compared to controls) was used to measure inhibition.
Although the author wrote ED50 (effective dose), he apparently measured and reported EC50. Values were given in µmol/l. Result refers to concentration of aqueous solution.
