- Post exposure observation period:
- All plants were assessed for emergence until 50% emergence was achieved in the control for each species. Observations on emergence, visual injury/phytotoxicity, survival and growth stage according to the BBCH- scale (see section 18 References) were recorded at 7, 14 and 21 days after 50% emergence in the control.
Visual assessments of phytotoxicity were carried out and were categorised using the scoring table below where appropriate with a general description of the effect, where appropriate.
Following the final assessment at 21 days after 50 % emergence of each species in the control, individual plants in each treatment replicate were harvested at the soil surface and weighed. These shoots were then dried in an oven set at 60oC to determine shoot dry weight. - Test temperature:

- PHYTOTOXICITY
Visual injury/phytotoxicity was observed in all plant species at the higher rate of 267 mg NBPT/kg dry soil with varying degrees of severity by 21 DAE.The dicotyledonous species were affected more than the monocotyledons, where the leaf edge yellowing was mild. The worst affected species was the soybean where the effect was severe, resulting in death of the plants. The main symptoms of the observed phytotoxicity were stunting and yellowing of the younger leaf tips or cotyledons. No phytotoxic effects were observed in any of the species tested at 26.7 mg NBPT/kg dry soil and below. The plants growth and condition were the same as the untreated control group.
EMERGENCE
There was no significant difference in the rate of emergence of oat, ryegrass, oilseed rape, soybean, sunflower or tomato at 21 days after 50 % emergence in the control for any tested concentration (Dunnetts’s, two-tail,p>0.05 or Steel’s Many Rank, two-tail, p=0.05).
SURVIVAL
There was no significant difference in the survival of oat, ryegrass, oilseed rape, soybean, sunflower and tomato at 21 days after 50 % emergence in the control (Dunnett’sTest, two-tail,p>0.05 or Steel’s Many Rank, two-tail, p=0.05) for any tested concentration except for the soybean seedlings where there was a significant effect at the highest rate of 267 mg NBPT/kg dry soil (76.2 % of the plants died).
SHOOT DRY WEIGHT
There was no significant difference in the shoot dry weight of oat, ryegrass, oilseed rape and sunflower at 21 days after 50 % emergence in the control at any treatment rate and of soybean and tomato up to 26.7mg NBPT/kg dry soil. However, there was a significant difference between the untreated control and 267 mg NBPT/kg dry soil in the soybean and the tomato (Dunnett’s Test, two-tail,p>0.05).
NBPT CONCENTRATIONS
Confirmatory analysis of the concentrations of NBPT in the highest rate solution prepared, used to treat the soil, was carried out at Day 0. The measured concentration of NBPT in the solution was 99.1 % of nominal concentration and therefore the final results are based on the nominal concentrations/rates of NBPT. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- No applicable
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Emergence, plant survival and shoot dry weight data generated were subject to statistical analysis using ToxCalc (1999) for each of the six plant species using Dunnett’s two-tail hypothesis test or Steels Many-Rank Test (p=0.05, two tail). The EC50 was estimated using Linear Interpolation and the R2 was calculated using linear regression (Microsoft Excel, 2013) for soybean.
See details below in the"Any other information on results incl. tables" below. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- Seedling emergence and survival for all species was at least 70% and 90%, respectively, in the control plants with no visible signs of injury (with the exception of slight stunting to an individual plant).
- Conclusions:
- The soil incorporation of NBPT up to rates of 20 kg NBPT/ha (26.7 mg NBPT/kg dry soil) to six terrestrial plant species did not produce any statistically significant effects on emergence, survival and shoot dry weight nor phytotoxicity effects of the six species tested compared to the untreated control plants.
The soil incorporation of NBPT at a rate of 200 kg NBPT/ha (267 mg NBPT/kg dry soil) to six terrestrial plant species showed varying degrees of phytotoxicity, however, there was no statistical difference on emergence, survival and biomass in the tested species with the exception of soybean and tomato. There was a statistical difference between the high rate of NBPT and control plants for both survival and plant growth (dry weight) in soybean, whereas only the dry weight in the tomato was statistically different to the control. - Executive summary:
A reliable study was performed to assess the chronic effects of NBPT on six terrestrial plants (monocotyledoneous and dicotyledoneous cultivated plants) according to the OECD guideline 208 under GLP.
A range finder bioassay was carried out using NBPT at rates ranging from 0.002 to 20 kg/ha (equivalent to 0.00267 mg/kg to 26.7 mg NBPT/kg dw) applied by soil incorporation. Oat (Avena sativa), sunflower (Helianthus annuus) and tomato (Solanum lycopersicon) were assessed for effects on emergence, survival, phytotoxicity and final shoot dry weight for a test period of 21 days after 50% emergence in the untreated control (DAE50).
Following the results of the range-finder bioassay, a dose response/limit test bioassay was carried out using 20 and 200 kg NBPT/ha (26.7 and 267 mg NBPT/kg dry soil) for sunflower and oats. A dose response bioassay was conducted at a range of 0.02 to 200 kg NBPT/ha (0.0267 to 267 mg NBPT/kg dry soil) for ryegrass (Lolium perenne), oilseed rape (Brassica napus) soybean (Glycine max (G. soja)) and tomato. Plants were observed for effects on seedling emergence and phytotoxicity up to 21 days (DAE50). After the final observations the dry shoot weight (biomass) was determined. The test was restarted for tomato because it did not achieve 70% emergence in the control treatments. The validity criterion for this species was met on the retest.
The soil incorporation of NBPT at a rate of 200 kg NBPT/ha (267 mg NBPT/kg dry soil) to six terrestrial plant species showed varying degrees of phytotoxicity, however, there was no statistical difference on emergence, survival and biomass in the tested species with the exception of soybean and tomato. There was a statistical difference between the high rate of NBPT and control plants for both survival and plant growth (dry weight) in soybean, whereas only the dry weight in the tomato was statistically different to the control.
The soil incorporation of NBPT up to rates of 20 kg NBPT/ha (26.7 mg NBPT/kg dry soil) to six terrestrial plant species did not produce any statistically significant effects on emergence, survival and shoot dry weight of the six species tested compared to the untreated control plants.
Confirmatory analysis of the concentrations of NBPT in the highest rate solution prepared, used to treat the soil, was carried out at Day 0. The measured concentration of NBPT in the solution was 99.1 % of nominal concentration and therefore the final results are based on the nominal concentrations/rates of NBPT. This study fulfilled the validity criteria cited in the OECD Guideline 208.
The Soybean, a dicotyledoneous species of the Fabaceae (Leguminosae) family has been shown to be the most sensitive species to NBPT and the survival the most sensitive endpoint with an EC50= 184 mg NBPT/kg dry soil and a NOEC= 26.7 mg NBPT/kg dry soil.

Description of key information
The soil incorporation of NBPT up to rates of 20 kg NBPT/ha (26.7 mg NBPT/kg dry soil) to six terrestrial plant species did not produce any statistically significant effects on emergence, survival and shoot dry weight nor phytotoxicity effects of the six species tested compared to the untreated control plants.
The soil incorporation of NBPT at a rate of 200 kg NBPT/ha (267 mg NBPT/kg dry soil) to six terrestrial plant species showed varying degrees of phytotoxicity, however, there was no statistical difference on emergence, survival and biomass in the tested species with the exception of soybean and tomato. There was a statistical difference between the high rate of NBPT and control plants for both survival and plant growth (dry weight) in soybean, whereas only the dry weight in the tomato was statistically different to the control.
