- To prepare a stock solution (SL) a quantity of 243 mg of the test item were weighed into a 200 mL volumetric flask and made up with deionised water. The resulting nominal test item concentration in the stock solution was 1.0 mg a.s./mL. For treatment T5, a volume of 50 mL of the stock solution was made up to 90.4 mL with deionised water and mixed quantitatively into 1000 g dry weight of test soil.
For treatment T1, a volume of 10 mL of the stock solution was made up to 90.4 mL with deionised water and mixed quantitatively into 1000 g dry weight of test soil. For treatment C (control) a volume of 90.4 mL of deionised water was mixed quantitatively into 1000 g dry weight of test soil. By adding a volume of 90.4 mL of either test solution (T1 and T5) or water (control) the soil moisture was adjusted to 45% of the maximum water holding capacity (WHCmax).
The soil for all three treatments had been amended with finely ground lucerne meal at 5.0 g/kg dw soil immediately before test item application. The soil was distributed equally to four test vessels per treatment (= four replicates). - Test organisms (inoculum):

- Details on results:
- On day 0, nitrate concentration of test-item treated soil T1 did not differ significantly from the control, while in soil treated at the fivefold concentration (T5) nitrate concentration was significantly reduced. From day 0 to day 7 nitrate concentrations declined in the two treatments and the control. On day 28 nitrate concentration in treatment T5 was significantly reduced compared to the control while it was significantly increased in T1.
Thereafter up to day 56, the nitrate concentration in the test soil increased in both test item treatments and in the control. Deviation from the control was smaller than 25% in treatment T1 except for day 14, and larger than 25% except for day 0 in treatment T5. The average nitrate formation rate from day 0 to day 56 differed from the control by less than 25% in T1and by more than 25% in T5.
VALIDITY
The validity criterion given by the guideline was fulfilled (variability of less than 15% within the control). The maximum coefficient of variation (CV) for nitrate of control samples was 4.6 %. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- not applicable
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Normal distribution and homogeneity of variances was tested by the Kolmogorov Smirnov test on normal distribution and the F- test on variance homogeneity, respectively. The NOEC was determined by applying the Student’s t-test (alpha = 0.05, twosided).
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- According to the OECD Test Guideline No. 216 the test item can be considered to have no long term effect on soil microbial nitrogen transformation in soil if the deviation from the control is equal to or less than 25% after a maximum of 100 days.
The daily nitrate formation rates in soil treated with the test item at 10 mg/kg soil dry weight differed from the control by less than 25% at test end (day 56). Therefore it can be concluded that the test item has no long term effect on soil microbial nitrogen transformation in soil at concentrations up to and including 10 mg/kg soil dry weight. - Executive summary:
To determine possible effects of the test item on soil microorganisms a GLP-compliant Soil Microorganisms: Nitrogen Transformation Test according to OECD TG 216 was carried out. The test item was dissolved in deionised water and mixed into sieved field soil (Lufa standard soil type 2.3) that was amended with powdered lucerne meal at a concentration of 5.0 g/kg soil dry weight, and incubated for a test period of 56 d at 20±2 °C in the dark. Two test item concentrations were tested: 10 mg a.s./kg soil dry weight (T1) and 50 mg a.s./kg soil dry weight (T5). A stock solution (SL) was prepared by dissolving 243 g of the test item in 200 mL deionised water. Volumes of 10 mL of SL (treatment T1) and 50 mL of SL (treatment T5) were mixed into 1000 g dry weight of soil, each. Soil of the control (treatment C) did not receive any SL. Soil moisture of the test soils was adjusted to 45% of the maximum water holding capacity (WHCmax) and was kept within a range of ± 5% of 45% of WHCm a x throughout the study. Nitrate concentration in soil was determined in soil extracts on day 0, 7, 14, 28, 42 and 56. The validity criterion given by the guideline was fulfilled (variability of less than 15% within the control). The maximum coefficient of variation (CV) for nitrate of control samples was 4.6. On day 0, nitrate concentration of test-item treated soil T1 did not differ significantly from the control, while in soil treated at the fivefold concentration (T5) nitrate concentration was significantly reduced. From day 0 to day 7 nitrate concentrations declined in the test item treated soil as well as in the control soil. On day 28 nitrate concentration in treatment T5 was significantly reduced compared to the control while it was significantly increased in T1. Thereafter up to day 56, the nitrate concentration in the test soil increased in both test item treatments and in the control. Deviation from the control was smaller than 25% in treatment T1 except for day 14, and larger than 25% except for day 0 in treatment T5. The average nitrate formation rate from day 0 to day 56 differed from the control by less than 25% in T1 and by more than 25% in T5. In conclusion, in compliance with the OECD Test Guideline No. 216 the test item can be considered to have no long term effect on soil microbial nitrogen transformation in soil if, in the lower of the two tested concentrations, the deviation from the control is equal to or smaller than 25%. The daily nitrate formation rates in soil treated with the test item at 10 mg/kg soil dry weight differed from the control by less than 25% at test end. Therefore it can be concluded that the test item has no long term effect on soil microbial nitrogen transformation in soil at concentrations up to and including 10 mg/kg soil dry weight. Accordingly, the 56-day NOEC of the test item was determined to be 10 mg/kg soil dry weight.

To determine possible effects of the test item on soil microorganisms a GLP-compliant Soil Microorganisms: Nitrogen Transformation Test according to OECD TG 216 was carried out (Foerster, 2016). The test item was dissolved in deionised water and mixed into sieved field soil (Lufa standard soil type 2.3) that was amended with powdered lucerne meal at a concentration of 5.0 g/kg soil dry weight, and incubated for a test period of 56 d at 20±2 °C in the dark. Two test item concentrations were used: 10 mg a.s./kg soil dry weight (T1) and 50 mg a.s./kg soil dry weight (T5). A stock solution (SL) was prepared by dissolving 243 g of the test item in 200 mL deionised water. Volumes of 10 mL of SL (treatment T1) and 50 mL of SL (treatment T5) were mixed into 1000 g dry weight of soil, each. Soil of the control (treatment C) did not receive any SL. Soil moisture of the test soils was adjusted to 45% of the maximum water holding capacity (WHCmax) and was kept within a range of ± 5 % of 45 % of WHCm a x throughout the study. Nitrate concentration in soil was determined in soil extracts on day 0, 7, 14, 28, 42 and 56. The validity criterion given by the guideline was fulfilled (variability of less than 15 % within the control). The maximum coefficient of variation (CV) for nitrate of control samples was 4.6. On day 0, nitrate concentration of test-item treated soil T1 did not differ significantly from the control, while in soil treated at the fivefold concentration (T5) nitrate concentration was significantly reduced. From day 0 to day 7 nitrate concentrations declined in the test item treated soil as well as in the control soil. On day 28 nitrate concentration in treatment T5 was significantly reduced compared to the control while it was significantly increased in T1. Thereafter up to day 56, the nitrate concentration in the test soil increased in both test item treatments and in the control. Deviation from the control was smaller than 25 % in treatment T1 except for day 14, and larger than 25% except for day 0 in treatment T5. The average nitrate formation rate from day 0 to day 56 differed from the control by less than 25 % in T1 and by more than 25 % in T5. In conclusion, in compliance with the OECD Test Guideline No. 216 the test item can be considered to have no long term effect on soil microbial nitrogen transformation in soil if, in the lower of the two tested concentrations, the deviation from the control is equal to or smaller than 25 %. The daily nitrate formation rates in soil treated with the test item at 10 mg/kg soil dry weight differed from the control by less than 25 % at test end. Therefore it can be concluded that the test item has no long term effect on soil microbial nitrogen transformation in soil at concentrations up to and including 10 mg/kg soil dry weight. Accordingly, the 56-day NOEC of the test item was determined to be 10 mg/kg soil dry weight.
