- Myriophyllum spicatum, Elodea nuttallii, Ranunculus circinatus, Ceratophyllum demersum, Potamogeton natans, Sagittaria sagittifolia, Salvinia natans and Lemna trisulca, Lemna gibbawere placed in each microcosm. The sediment introduced in the microcosms contained propagules of aquatic macrophytes (e.g Chara sp., Potamogeton perfoliatus, Potamogeton berchtoldii). The spontaneous growth of macrophytes in the volunteer section of the microcosms was allowed. In the preparatory phase of the microcosm experiment, however, some of these macrophytes were redistributed over the different microcosms to stimulate a similar development of all test systems. In addition, in the period 1 to 11 May 2007 all microcosms were seeded with a few shoots of the bioassay plants R. circinatus, E. nuttallii, (orginating from the experimental ditch facility), M. spicatum and C. demersum (originating from commercial suppliers) to also allow the development of these plants in the volunteer section of the microcosms.

Conclusions:
The most sensitive response variable was frond number resulting in an overall ErC50 of 357 ng a.s./L in this study.
The lowest NOEC (76.2 ng a.s./L) was based on visual effects.
Findings:
Test conditions met all validity criteria, given by the mentioned guideline. The analytical findings of BCS-AA10717 found in freshly prepared test levels 31.4 – 126 ng a.s./L on day 0 in reference to nominal concentrations ranged between 91 and 100% (average 96%). In aged test levels on days 7 there were analytical findings between 87 and 97% (average 92%) of nominal.
Conclusions:
The most sensitive response variable (based on growth rates) was frond number resulting in (0-7-day)-ErC50 of 72.8 ng a.s./L in this study. The lowest NOEC (30.9 ng a.s./L) was based on both, visual effects and statistical data analysis of frond number and total frond area of plants.
Conclusion:
• Analysis of the test substance (AE1170437) in the water column 4 h after herbicide application indicated that all microcosms received the intended dose.
• In water samples from microcosms that received the intended treatment level of 0.01 μg a.s./L on average 139 % and 126 % of the intended dose was measured 4 hours and 2 days post application, respectively. Note that the limit of quantification (LOQ) of the detection method was 0.001 μg a.s./L. In water samples collected from microcosms that received higher concentrations on average 101 – 117 % of the intended dose could be measured 4 h post AE1170437 application, and 91 – 99 % was measured two days post herbicide application.
• Since the variability in concentration levels probably is higher during the first hours post herbicide application due to incomplete mixing, and the concentration of higher treatment levels can be measured with a higher accuracy, we decided to express the treatment-related responses observed in terms of the intended treatment levels (0.01 – 0.32 – 0.10 – 0.32 – 1.00 – 3.20 – 10.0 μg a.s./L).
• At the end of the experiment (day 69) approximately 14 – 23 % of the intended dose applied could still be detected in water samples.
• Of the macrophyte species investigated the lemnids (Lemna gibba, Spirodela polyrhiza) were more sensitive (NOEC of 0.01 μg a.s./L) than other growth forms of macrophytes.
• The fast majority of non-lemnid vascular plants started to show clear effects at the treatment level 0.1 μg a.s./L. At the treatment levels of 3.2 and 10 a.s./L recovery of affected macrophytes was not observed.
• In the microcosms macrophyte species were far more sensitive than phytoplankton and zooplankton taxa.
• In the microcosms community metabolism endpoints showed relatively minor treatment related effects. This might be explained by the fact that certain primary producers were not affected at all by the herbicide (e.g. Chara).
• Vascular plants that showed a relatively minor growth in controls, also were hardly affected by the test compound (e.g. Ceratophyllum demersum,
Ranunculus circinatus, Lemna trisulca).
• When considering all endpoints investigated in the microcosm experiment and in the associated bioassays (including the parallel bioassay with Lemna gibba),
the overall NOEC of the study is 0.01 μg a.s./L.
• When considering the endpoints that directly relate to the dynamics in exposure concentrations in the test systems (excluding the parallel Lemna gibba bioassay) the overall threshold level for effects can be set at 0.1 μg a.s./L, at least when considering an Effect class 2 response for Spirodela polyrhiza of minor importance.
• When excluding the responses of the lemnid macrophytes Spirodela popyrhiza and Lemna gibba, the NOEAEC level is 0.32 μg a.s./L, since at this treatment level only Effect class 2 responses were observed for Myriophyllum, Elodea
and a few algae. At the next higher treatment-level of 1.0 μg a.s./L long-term
responses without recovery were observed for the aquatic vascular plants
Myriophyllum spicatum and Elodea nuttallii.
Five of the eight aquatic plant species tested (e.g., Elodea, sago pondweed, water milfoil, pickerel weed and pond lily) became well established in the ponds and demonstrated varying degrees of sensitivity to the test substance. Coontail weed, Lemna gibba and Lemna minor were less successful at colonizing the ponds and did not allow a clear assessment of the test substance impact on these species. Because of the lack of growth of these species, effects determinations were not reported.
For those species that performed well enough to assess the effects of AE 1170437, the water lily was the most sensitive to the test substance with a NOEC for symptomology of < 0.32 μg/L. Water milfoil was the next most sensitive plant with a NOEC value of 0.32 μg/L. Elodea, sago pondweed and pickerel weed were all unaffected by the exposure and had NOEC values of 3.2 μg/L.
Although not all the species tested became well established during the study, the sensitivity of the ones that did flourish, provided NOEC values across the range of concentrations tested, with the lowest value being less than 0.32 μg/L, the lowest concentration tested. New healthy growth (recovery) was occurring in pond lilies exposed to 0.32 and 1.0 μg/L by the end of the 41-day study. Water milfoil, which was also sensitive to AE 1170437 (NOEC established at 0.32 μg/L based on dry weight), exhibited symptomatic effects at≥1.0 μg/L during the exposure. Therefore, there was no opportunity to view recovery.
The NOEC values for survival and dry weight (growth) are considered the most relevant population-level linked endpoint evaluated. Based on AE 1170437 effect on growth (except for Lemna sp. and Ceratophyllum demersum, where control responses were not adequate for an effects determination), the NOEC for the study would be 0.32 μg/L.

Additional information
Indaziflam is a selective, pre-emergence alkylazine herbicide therefore aquatic plants are sensitive to exposure as is expected from an herbicidal compound.
The most sensitive species tested was the aquatic plant Lemma gibba with an EC50 of 0.0000728 mg a.i./L, and NOEC of 0.000030 mg a.i./L. Due to the sensitivity of Lemna in standard testing, a series of higher tiered tests was performed in order to determine the potential toxicity of the substance to Lemna and other higher aquatic plants under more realistic conditions.
In the first study (M-303082-01-2) multiple species were tested in the outdoor studies including submerged species and rooted macrophytes. The NOEC based on plant growth from the pond study (non-GLP) was 0.00032 mg a.i./L.
The aquatic mesocosm study (M-304567-01-1) incorporated more species and endpoints, was of longer duration and was conducted under GLP. Thus, this study is used as key study. The NOEC for the higher aquatic plants (non-lemnid type) in the aquatic microcosm was 0.00001 mg a.i./L.
