- Details on preparation and application of test substrate:
- - Method of mixing into soil (if used): For the main study, 50, 89, 158, 281, and 500 mg of the substance was weighed into finely ground sand to a total weight of 5000 mg each and mixed for ten minutes. At the same time, the rest of the deionised water required was mixed into the test soil in each test container. For the pre-study, 2000 mg of the test substance was weighed into 20 g finely ground sand and mixed thoroughly for ten minutes in a morter. The concentrations for the pre-study were prepared by mixing equivalent parts of this mixture into the test soil thoroughly with a domestic mixer.
- Controls: yes, test medium control - Test organisms (species):
- Eisenia fetida
- Animal group:
- annelids
- Details on test organisms:
- TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: earthworm (reported as Eisenia fetida andrei)
- Source: strain of Prof. Graff, Forschungsanstalt für Landwirtschaft, Braunschweig, Germany. This strain has been held in the laboratory of Bayer AG for several years under the conditions described in the BBA Proposal for an OECD Guideline (ECO 85, = UPEC 15, "Test guideline for the assessment of toxicity to earthworms (Eisenia fetida Sav.), Laboratory test Draft", DBA AP-3000 b and 2600, February 1981).
- Age at test initiation (mean and range, SD): adult worms more than two months old
- Weight at test initiation (mean and range, SD): average weight was 0.28 g (average weight was 0.35 g in the pre-study)
ACCLIMATION
- Acclimation period: strain held for several years under constant conditions: 22 ± 2 °C, 70 - 90% relative humidity, 12:12 hours light-dark cycle. The substrate consists of about 70% by weight of natural soil, 25% peat and 5% straw (dry weight in each case). The animals are fed on ground, dried cattle manure at 14 day intervals. At the same time, the substrate is also replenished. On the day prior to the start of the study, they were removed from the breeding substrate for acclimatization and kept in the test soil (without test substance) under the test conditions until the start of the study.
- Acclimation conditions (same as test or not): yes, same as test
- Feeding: The animals were not fed during the study. - Study type:
- laboratory study
- Substrate type:
- artificial soil
- Limit test:
- no
- Total exposure duration:
- 14 d
- Test temperature:
- 19 - 21 °C
- pH:
- 6.2 - 6.3 (pH of test soil)
- Moisture:
- 70 - 90% relative humidity
- Details on test conditions:
- TEST SYSTEM
- Test container (material, size): 1.5 liter preserving jars covered with glass lids
- Amount of soil or substrate: 500 g dry weight test soil (equivalent to 775 g wet weight)
- No. of organisms per container (treatment): 10
- No. of replicates per treatment group: 4
- No. of replicates per control: 4
SOURCE AND PROPERTIES OF SUBSTRATE (if soil)
- Composition (if artificial substrate): The test soil consists of 69% fine quartz sand (84% of the sand has a particle size of 0.06 - 0.2 mm), 10% dried, finely ground peat (sphagnum peat; pH 2 - 4), 20% kaolin (kaolinite content of about 36%, pH value ca. 7, "Kaolin W", from Erbslöh/Geisenheim) and around 1% calcium carbonate (pure) to adjust the pH value to 6 + 0.5 (figures refer to dry weight).
- Pretreatment of soil: The test soil was first of all mixed dry from these components in a plough-share mixer, and moistened with some of the final volume of water required.
OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Photoperiod: 12:12 hrs light-dark cycle
- Light intensity: 400 - 800 lux
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable): Seven days after the start of the study, the number of surviving earthworms was counted by emptying the soil out onto an inert surface and removing the earthworms by hand. The animals were then returned to the test container with the test soil. After 14 days, the weight as well as the number of surviving earthworms were determined. Earthworms which show no reaction upon being prodded with a blunt probe are considered dead.

- Behavioural abnormalities: none observed - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- Under the same conditions, a study was carried out with the reference substance chloroacetamide A.R. on 20th November 1996 (Report HBF/Rg 238 of December 17, 1996) (test concentrations: 10, 18, 24, 32, and 56 mg/kg). The LC50 (14 days) determined in this study of 24 mg/kg dry weight soil (95 % confidence limits 23 - 25 mg/kg) is within the concentration range normally determined in international ring studies.
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The weight alterations of the test organisms were statistically evaluated by the U-Test of Wilcoxon, Mann & Whitney (L. SACHS: Angewandte Statistik, Springer Verlag 1978; Probability level P = 0.05, two sided). If possible, the EC50-values and the 95 percent confidence limits are calculated by an EC50 computer program developed by Dr. H.T. Ratte (Technical University Aachen) using the Probit-Analysis after the "Maximum-Likelihood" Method (according to Finney (1952)).
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- For further details please refer to “Any other information on results incl. tables”.
- Endpoint:
- toxicity to soil macroorganisms except arthropods: long-term
- Data waiving:
- exposure considerations
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because direct and indirect exposure of the soil compartment is unlikely

Description of key information
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, Annex IX, column 2, testing of effects on terrestrial organisms is not required since direct and indirect exposure of the soil compartment for the substance 4-(2-chlorophenyl)-N-cyclohexyl-N-ethyl-5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-tetrazole-1-carboxamide is unlikely. Furthermore, the evaluation of the PEC/PNEC ratio indicates no risk for the terrestrial compartment (RCR << 1). For detailed information, see Chemical Safety Report (CSR) chapter 9 and 10.
One short-term study is available for soil macroorganisms , which was conducted according to GLP standards and followed OECD guideline 207. Earthworms (Eisenia fetida) were exposed to five concentrations (100, 178, 316, 562, and 1000 mg/kg dry weight soil) in an artificial soil consisting of sand, clay mineral and peat. The determined LC50 (14 d) was >1000 mg/kg dry weight soil (nominal). A NOEC (14 d) of 100 mg/kg dry weight soil (nominal) based on weight alterations was determined, the LOEC (14 d) was 178 mg/kg dry weight soil (nominal).
