Test substrate

Details on preparation and application of test substrate:
- Method of mixing into soil (if used): In order to achieve the required test concentrations the dry premixes of test substance and sand were blended with the dry soil in a HOBART-blender. After dispensing this blend into the test containers the seeds were planted and covere with a thin layer of soil. The water was added subsequently
- Controls: Blank: Soil

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

Potential effects of the test item on seedling emergence and growth were assessed with OECD 208.

Emergence: EC 50 for all three species tested (LOLIUM PERENNE, BRASSICA RAPA, VICIA SATIVA) exceeded 100 mg/kg.

Growth: EC 50 for all three species tested (LOLIUM PERENNE, BRASSICA RAPA, VICIA SATIVA) exceeded 100 mg/kg.

No visible phytotoxic effects were observed on all three species.
