- SEEDLING EMERGENCE
The effects of the test substance on seedling emergence were minimal. There were no effects greater than 20% lower emergence. See table for more information.
VEGETATIVE VIGOUR
The mean dry weight of oat was significantly reduced at the 333, and 1000 mg a.i./kg levels. The reduction was not dose responsive. Other species also saw a reduction in mean dry weight (see table). Slight reductions in height were noted in most species, particularly onion and tomato (see table). - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- See table below.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The EC50s of Benzene, mono-C10-13-alkyl derivs., distn. residues for all species were greater than the highest concentration tested (111 mg./kg dry soil for oilseed rape and 1000 mg./kg dry soil for all other species). The NOECs ranged from 37 mg/kg dry soil for Tomato up to 1000 mg/kg dry soil for a number of species. Even though NOECs were determined, the effects levels observed were generally low. Clear dose response toxic effects were seldom observed.
- Executive summary:
The effect of the Benzene, mono-C10 -13 -alkyl derivs., distn. residues on terrestrial plants was tested in an OECD Guideline 208 experiment. Several species of both monocots and dicots were tested. Seeds were planted in soil containing the test substance for 21 days, and the emergence and growth of the plants was monitored. The following concentrations were tested: oilseed rape - 0, 0.457, 1.37, 4.12, 12.3, 37.0, and 111 mg a.i./kg; and all other crops: 0, 4.12, 12.3, 37.0, 111, 333, and 1000 mg a.i./kg. The test substance had minor effect on the plants. The EC50s for all species were greater than the highest concentration tested (111 mg./kg dry soil for oilseed rape and 1000 mg./kg dry soil for all other species). The NOECs ranged from 37 mg/kg dry soil for Tomato up to 1000 mg/kg dry soil for a number of species.
