Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information
No phytotoxic effects were observed in any of the six plant species tested. No statistical significant differences for plant weight were observed between the control and the tested plants. There is no phytotoxic potential up to a sulfur rate of 25.2 kg/ha (31.5 kg BAS 175 01 F/ha).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
A GLP study investigating the effects on non-target plants in the greenhouse (limit test) according to OECD guideline 208 and under GLP is available for assessment (BASF, 2000). Test species were: Corn (Zea mays variety: Dea); oat (Avena sativa variety: Flaemingsplus); onion (Allium cepa variety: Red Baron); cabbage (Brassica oleracea variety: Hammer); pea (Pisum sativum variety: Progress); and carrot (Daucus carota variety: Romosa).Test rates were: 10.5 kg/ha (equivalent to 8400 g a.s./ha) and 31.5 kg/ha (equivalent to 25200 g a.s./ha). The test substance was applied post emergence in the latest six weeks after seeding at growth stage BBCH (Biologische Bundesanstalt, Bundessortenamt and Chemical Industry)12 to 16 of the plants (depending on plant species). The application was doneusing a laboratory spray cabin which simulated an application in agricultural practice.Following the application, the plants were cultivated for 14 days in the greenhouse. Assessments for phytotoxicity (e.g. scorch, stunting, deformations) were done in approximately 7 days after application (DAA) and 14 DAA. After the 14 DAA assessment the fresh weight of the plant biomass above ground was determined.
No visible phytotoxic effects were observed in any of the plant species tested up to a sulfur rate of 25.2 kg/ha (31.5 kg BAS 175 01 F/ha). For all plant species the plant weight was at the same level as the weight of the control plants. No statistically significant differences to the control were observed.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
