Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- MORTALITY: EC50 value higher than 15 kg/ha. LENGHT: EC50 value higher than 15 kg/ha. WEIGHT: EC50 value higher than 15 kg/ha.
- Conclusions:
- The validity criteria of the test were satisfied. As for mortality, for all species the EC50 value resulted higher than 15 kg/ha. As for lenght, for all species the EC50 value resulted higher than 15 kg/ha. Brassica napus, Helianthus annuus and Zea mays increased lenght at the concentration tested compared with untreated. As for weight, for all species the EC50 value resulted higher than 15 kg/ha. Brassica napus, Sinapis alba and Zea mays increased weight at the concentration tested compared with untreated. Chlorosis, necrosis and other visual effects were not observed for any of the species.
- Executive summary:
The purpose of this study was to determine a possibleeffect ofAlgeafert Solid K+on seedling emergence and early growth of 6 non-target plants following exposure to the test substance applied to the soil.
Seeds were placed in contact with soil treated with the test substance and evaluated for effects after usually 7,14 and 21 days from the emergence of 50% of the seedlings in the control group. The substance was sprayed on the soil surface after the seeds had been planted. The measured endpoints are visual assessment of seedling emergence, fresh shoot weight and shoot height at 21 days after treatment and visual detrimental effects (chlorosis, mortality).
Treatment groups and one control group for four dicotyledonous species(Brassica napus, Sinapis alba,Helianthus annuus and Cucumis sativus) and two monocotyledonous species (Avena sativa and Zea mays) were set up in the test. Each group comprised at least twenty plants (monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous) for each concentration; the number of seeds planted (two, three or five) per pot depends upon the species.The control group was treated with deionised water. The following application rate was used in the limit test: 15 kg /ha
