- - Preparation of the application mixtures:
Due to its low solubility in water, the test item was added to acetone, applied to quartz sand and mixed with the soil. The test item was homogeneously dissolved in the organic solvent. The application solution for the test item concentration was prepared by dissolving 40 mL of the test item completely in acetone to a volume of 80 mL (nominal concentration of the application solution: 500 mg/mL). The density of the test item is 1.003 g/cm. Therefore, the volume of 40 mL corresponded to 40 g test item. For the second test with carrot plants, a volume of 15 mL (15 g) was dissolved in acetone and filled up to a volume of 30 mL (nominal concentration of the application solution: 500 mg/mL).
The application solutions were prepared as follows:
- For the test with onion, wheat, rape, lettuce and soybean: 40 mL test item filled up to a volume of 80 mL. Of the application solution and the control a volume of 40 mL was poured onto 200 g sand to obtain the sand mixtures for the application.
- For the test with carrot: 15 mL test item filled up to a volume of 30 mL. A volume of 7 mL of the application solution or the control was poured onto 35 g sand to obtain the sand mixtures for the application.
The application mixtures were at both application dates clear solutions with a slight yellow coloration.
- Method of mixing into soil:
The solvent was completely evaporated at room temperature under a hood for approximately 3 to 4 hours. Three aliquots of 66.7 g of the sand mixture were incorporated uniformly into 7293 g of soil (corresponding to 6600 g on a dry weight basis) for 30 minutes using a stainless steel planetary mixer. The soil was continuously mixed during application. Then, the three portions were mixed. In this way, the whole lot of soil needed for all plants was treated as one batch. The ratio of sand to soil was 1% (w/w, dry weight) for all treatments including the control.

ACCLIMATION PERIOD: no data
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED:
The number of plants emerged per replicate and phytotoxic symptoms (e.g. leaf and stem deformations, chlorosis, necrosis and overall appearance compared with the control) were assessed at Day 7, 14 and 21 after 50 % of the control plants had emerged. At the end of the test (Day 21), the plant height of all individual plants was measured. Determination of shoot dry weight was carried out at the end of the test for all plants of one pot as one replicate. The plants were cut directly between root and shoot with a pair of scissors. For that purpose, each plant was pulled slightly out of the soil to uncover the site of cutting. Immediately after cutting, the plants were dried at 60°C for minimum four days to a constant weight and weighed immediately with an analytical balance.

- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- For data evaluation, the dry weight per plant for each treatment was calculated as percentage of the dry weight of untreated plants. Additionally, the mean value (x), the standard deviation (s) and the coefficient of variation (CV%) were calculated.
The LC50, EC50 and their 95% confidence limits could not be calculated in this limit test with one test concentration and were determined directly from the raw data. For the determinafion of the LOEC and NOEC, the rate of emergence, the shoot height and the mean shoot dry weight per plant at the tested treatments were tested on significant differences to the control values by a student's t-test (a = 0.05, one-sided smaller).
The analytically determined test item concentrations in the application solutions of the two application time points were 97% or 107% of the nominal values, based on the mean test item concentrations. Consequently, the reported biological results are based on the nominal concentration of the test item in the soil.

EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED
Mortality and Symptoms of Toxicity
After 7 and 14 days of exposure, the content of each single test vessel was emptied onto a plate. The surviving worms were counted and inspected for abnormal behavior or other symptoms of toxicity (worms not moving after gentle mechanical stimulus to their front end are considered to be dead). After the 7-day assessment, the soil of each test vessel was refilled into the test vessel and the worms were replaced into the same test substrate.
Body Weight
The mean body wet weights of the test organisms were determined at the start and at the end of the test. For this purpose, the surviving worms of each test vessel were weighed all together and the weight was divided by the number of surviving worms. Before weighing, the worms were quickly washed with water and surplus water was adsorbed on filter paper. For each test vessel, the difference of the mean body wet weight of the surviving test organisms behween the start and the end of the test was calculated.
Soil Moisture
Prior to the start of the test, the artificial soil moisture was adjusted to approximately 35 % (based on dry weight). After addition of the worms, the vessels were covered with glass lids to reduce evaporation. At the end of the test, the soil moisture was checked at all test concentrations and the control. Aliquots from the substrates of the four replicates per test concentration and control were mixed. The soil moisture in the mixed samples (of approximately 40 g wet weight) was calculated from the determination of the dry weight of the samples.
pH and Temperature
At the start of the test, pH was measured in the untreated artificial soil. At the end of the test, the pH of the soil was checked again for all test concentrations and the control. Aliquots from the substrates of the four replicates per test concentration and control were mixed. The pH was determined in these mixed samples: an aliquot of about 10 g was shaken with 25 mL KCl solution (1 M) for 30 minutes and the pH was measured in this suspension by a pH-electrode. The test temperature (room temperature) was continuously monitored by a temperature recorder.
