Vehicle:
no
Details on test solutions:
Dissolve the test substance in the culture medium. The concentration of this stock solution should correspond with the highest test dosage.
Mix the stock solution in a 1L glassflask on a magnetic stirrer for at least 30 min.

Based on the results from the preliminary test, the following test dosages were used for the definitive test: 2.0, 10, 50, and 250 mg/L

NA
Conductivity:
not specified
Nominal and measured concentrations:
nominal concentrations: 2.0, 10, 50, and 250 mg/L
Details on test conditions:
Two tests were performed. A preliminary test with 2 parallel test concentrations, followed by a definitive test wtih 3 parallel concentrations and 6 controls.
Inhibition is measured as a reduction in growth rate relative to control cultures grown under identical conditions.
light intensitiy has been in the range 6000-10000 lux.

none

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The 72hEC50 for triazolone was found to be 18 mg/L.
The NOEC value was estimated to 2.0 mg/L.
Executive summary:

S. costatum testing has been performed on the test substance TO Triazolone base on ISO 10253.

The EC50 -value found for the test substance TO Triazolone (nominal whole product) after 72h was 18 mg/L. The EC10 was estimated to 4.2 mg/L, and the NOEC value was estimated to 2.0 mg/L.
