APPLICATION OF TEST SUBSTANCE TO SOIL
- Method: The test item was weighed out and diluted in demineralized water for each test concentration separately and applied to the surface of the soil.

Additional information
A 28-day EC10 value of >1000 mg active acid/kg soil dry weight has been determined for the effects of HMDTMP-(4-7K) on the nitrogen formation rate of soil microorganisms, based on nominal concentrations. A 28-day EC50 value of >1000 mg active acid/kg soil dry weight based on nitrogen formation has also been reported in the same study (Noack, 2020).
The acid, sodium and potassium salts in the HMDTMP category are freely soluble in water. The HMDTMP anion can be considered fully dissociated from its sodium or potassium cations when in dilute solution. Under any given conditions, the degree of ionisation of the HMDTMP species is determined by the pH of the solution. At a specific pH, the degree of ionisation is the same regardless of whether the starting material was HMDTMP-H, HMDTMP.4Na, HMDTMP.7K or another salt of HMDTMP.
Therefore, when a salt of HMDTMP is introduced into test media or the environment, the following is present (separately):
1. HMDTMP is present as HMDTMP-H or one of its ionised forms. The degree of ionisation depends upon the pH of the media and not whether HMDTMP (4-7K) salt, HMDTMP (4-7Na) salt, HMDTMP-H (acid form), or another salt was used for dosing.
2. Disassociated potassium or sodium cations. The amount of potassium or sodium present depends on which salt was added.
3. It should also be noted that divalent and trivalent cations would preferentially replace the sodium or potassium ions. These would include calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+) and iron (Fe3+). These cations are more strongly bound by HMDTMP than potassium and sodium. This could result in HMDTMP-dication (e.g. HMDTMP-Ca, HMDTMP-Mg) and HMDTMP-trication (e.g. HMDTMP-Fe) complexes being present in solution.
