- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Test material:
IR5878
Batch number: G 009/02
Purity: 98.56 ± 0.19 % - Details on sampling:
- Carbon and nitrogen transformation tests were performed in two different experiments, applying 0.101 or 0.507 mg IR5878/kg soil dry weight to three replicates system per treatment group.Each treatment group was composed by three replicates.
- Details on test solutions:
- A stock solution was prepared by dissolving 25 mg of IR5878 in 50 mL acetone (acetone was used instead of water due to the low solubility of IR5878 in water). Afterwards, adequate amounts of the stock suspension were dropped onto the quartz sand. After evaporation of the solvent, the quartz sand was mixed to the soil using a laboratory mixer. In the course of the procedure the soil was ventilated and moistened with an adequate amount of deionised water. The soil water contents were adjusted to approximately 52 to 54% of the water holding capacity. For the nitrogen transformation test, additionally an amount of 0.5% Lucerne meal (related to soil dry weight) was added to the soil.

- Executive summary:
Effects of on O2 consumption after 28 days of exposure and effects on NO3 nitrogen production after 42 days exposure were investigated. IR5878 was tested on biologically active agricultural soil; loamy sand. A BSB-Sensomat System system was used to determine the CO2 production over a period of up to 24 hours at different sampling intervals. Nitrogen transformation was determined in soil enriched with lucerne meal with test item soil compared with non treated soil. Soil carbon turnover was sampled at 0, 7, 14 and 28 days after treatment and soil nitrogen turnover was sampled at 0, 7, 14, 28 and 42 days.
The test item was tested at 0.101mg and 0.507 mg IR5878 /kg soil dry weight.
At day 28 after application, the differences between the respiration rates of IR5878 treated soils and the control were 3.08% and 10.5% at 0.101 and 0.507 mg IR5878/kg soil dry weight, respectively.
At day 28 after application, the differences between the soil nitrate content in the control soil and the treated soil at both concentrations of IR5878 (0.101 and 0.507 mg IR5878/kg soil dry weight) were below the trigger value of 25% throughout the test. The differences compared to the control were –15.5% and –17.0% at 0.101 and 0.507 mg IR5878/kg soil dry weight, respectively, therefore the variation between the replicate control samples was clearly below the validity criterion of 15% throughout the test. The difference in nitrate formation rate was at –24.4% and –30.5% at 0.101 and 0.507 mg IR5878/kg soil dry weight, respectively. Therefore the test was prolonged up to 42 days.
On day 42, the differences of nitrate content in treated samples compared to the control were –13.1 % (statistically significant, p < 0.05) and –14.9% (statistically significant, p < 0.05) at 0.101 and 0.507 mg IR5878/kg soil dry weight, respectively. The nitrate formation rate was below the trigger value of 25%(-18.1 and –22.9%, respectively).
The differences between the mineral nitrogen content in the control soil and the treated soil at both concentrations of IR5878 (0.101 and 0.507 mg IR5878/kg soil dry weight) were also clearly below the trigger value of 25% at day 28. At day 28 the differences were –13.1 and –14.8%, respectively.
The variation between the replicate control samples was clearly below the validity criterion of 15% throughout the test.
Based on the results of this study, IR5878 had no significant impact on soil carbon mineralisation and a tolerable impact on soil nitrogen transformation when applied at concentrations up to 0.507 mg/kg soil dry weight (corresponding to 5 times the recommended application rate). It can be concluded that IR5878 will not have any long term influence on soil microflora.

Findings
The differences in soil respiration rates between the control soil and the treated soil at both concentrations of IR5878 (0.101 and 0.507 mg IR5878/kg soil dry weight) were below the trigger value of 25% throughout the test.
At day 28 after application, the differences between the respiration rates of IR5878 treated soils and the control were 3.08% and 10.5% at 0.101 and 0.507 mg IR5878/kg soil dry weight, respectively. The differences from the control were not statistically significant (p>0.05) at both test rates. The variation between the replicate control samples was clearly below the validity criterion of 15% throughout the test.

Description of key information
A study was carried out in order to assess the effects of IR5878 on the activity (carbon mineralisation and soil nitrogen transformation) of the soil microflora in the laboratory. Carbon and nitrogen transformation tests were performed in two different experiments, applying 0.101 or 0.507 mg IR5878/kg soil dry weight to three replicates system per treatment group.
IR5878 had no significant impact on soil carbon mineralisation and a tolerable impact on soil nitrogen transformation when applied at concentrations up to 0.507 mg IR5878/kg soil dry weight (corresponding to 5 times the recommended application rate). Therefore, it can be concluded that IR5878 will not have any long term influence on soil microflora.
