- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
As the test item is poorly soluble in deionized water as well in the test medium, preparation of test solution was performed using the WAF method (according to OECD Series on Testing and Assessment No. 23). A test item suspension was prepared by adding an amount of 0.1209 g test item to 1209 mL test medium (20X AAP medium) in the first renewal period, 0.1202 g test item to 1202 mL test medium (20X AAP medium) in the second renewal period and 0.1202 g test item to 1202 mL test medium (20X AAP medium) in the third renewal period in order to give the loading rate of 100 mg test item/L. This test item solution was handled by ultrasonic bath for approximately 10 minutes thereafter stirred for a period of approximately 24 hours to achieve equilibrated concentration. The solution was then filtrated through a membrane filter (0.45 µm) to separate the possible non-dissolved test material.
The test solution was freshly prepared in the testing laboratory at the start of each renewal period. - Test organisms (species):

EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED
At the start of the test, frond numbers in the test vessels were recorded. The number and appearance of fronds of Lemna gibba were determined in each testing vessel during the 168-hour test on the 3rd, 5th and 7th days. In the test item treated group decrease of frond size was observed during the experiment and small amount of the test item was adsorbed on the roots and on the lower side of the leaves observed at the end of the test. In addition to determinations of frond number during the test, effects of the test item on final biomass were also assessed based on determination of dry weight at the beginning and at the end of the study.
RANGE-FINDING TEST
In the semi-static preliminary range-finding test, a test item solution was prepared by adding 0.0500 g test item into 500 mL dilution water (20X AAP Medium) in the first renewal period, 0.0502 g test item into 502 mL dilution water (20X AAP Medium) in the second renewal period and 0.0500 g test item into 500 mL dilution water (20X AAP Medium) in the third renewal period to get the nominal concentration of 100 mg test substance /L. The test solution was handled in ultrasonic bath for approx. 10 minutes, stirred rigorously for 24 hours then filtrated through a membrane filter (0.45 µm) to separate the possible non-dissolved test material. Untreated control ran parallel in the test. The pre-test was performed with three replicates per test item treated group (containing 11 fronds in total per test vessel) for a period of 7 days. A concurrent control was run (with three replicates). The results are shown in the section “Any other information on results incl. tables”. - Reference substance (positive control):

The overall 7-day NOEC based on dry weight was determined to be < 20.28 mg/L (nominal < 100 mg/L) and the overall 7-day LOEC based on dry weight was determined to be < 20.28 mg/L (nominal < 100 mg/L). All validity criteria were met. The results are based on the nominal and on geometric mean of the measured test item concentrations. Test solution was prepared by utilizing the water accommodation fraction (WAF) approach.
- Executive summary:
The phytotoxicity of the test item Blue TBR on the freshwater aquatic plant Lemna gibba was assessed in a study according to OECD guideline 221. Exponentially growing cultures of Lemna gibba were exposed to the test item over a period of 7 days (168 hours) in a semi-static system under defined conditions. Because of low solubility of the test item, test solution was prepared by utilizing the water accommodated fraction (WAF) approach (according to OECD No. 23). Growth and inhibition of growth in the test solution of the nominal test item concentration of 100 mg/L were compared with that in the control in a limit test. The effects of Blue TBR compared to the control plant development were demonstrated by the changes of average specific growth rates and yield (both calculated on the basis of frond number and dry weight). The analytically measured test item concentration was not within ± 20 % of the nominal during the test period therefore all biological results are based on the nominal and on the geometric mean of the measured test item concentrations. In this 7-day growth inhibition study on Lemna sp. (Lemna gibba) the obtained results showed that the test item Blue TBR had no toxic effects on the growth rate and yield (based on frond number) but had significant toxic effect on the growth rate and yield (based on dry weight). The overall 7-day NOEC based on frond number was determined to be 20.28 mg/L (nominal 100 mg/L) and the overall 7-day LOEC based on frond number was determined to be > 20.28 mg/L (nominal > 100 mg/L). The overall 7-day NOEC based on dry weight was determined to be < 20.28 mg/L (nominal < 100 mg/L) and the overall 7-day LOEC based on dry weight was determined to be < 20.28 mg/L (nominal < 100 mg/L). All validity criteria were met.

Based on the results of the non-GLP Preliminary Range-Finding Test (see above), the main test was a limit test performed using the WAF method (according to OECD Series on Testing and Assessment No. 23) including a nominal loading rate of 100 mg/L and a concurrent control group.
Analytical Results
For determination of the test item concentrations, samples were taken from the test concentration level and from the control at the start and at the end of each renewal period. The measured concentration values were not within ± 20 % of the nominal during the experiment. Therefore, test item concentration was calculated as geometric mean of the measured concentrations (according to OECD No. 23). Calculation of the test concentration is given in the table below:

Growth rate
No significant inhibition of the average specific growth rate based on frond number in comparison to that of the control was observed in the test item treated group. NOEC and LOEC values were determined using Independent Samples T-Test (α = 0.05). Accordingly, the NOEC based on growth rate (frond number) was determined to be 20.28 mg/L, while the LOEC based on growth rate was determined to be > 20.28 mg/L.
Significant inhibition of the average specific growth rate based on dry weight in comparison to that of the control was observed in the test item treated group. NOEC and LOEC values were determined using Independent Samples T-Test (α = 0.05). Accordingly, the NOEC based on growth rate (dry weight) was determined to be < 20.28 mg/L, while the LOEC based on growth rate was determined to be < 20.28 mg/L.
Yield
No significant inhibition of the yield based on frond number in comparison to that of the control was observed in the test item treated group.

Additional information
The phytotoxicity of the test item Blue TBR on the freshwater aquatic plant Lemna gibba was assessed in a study according to OECD guideline 221. Exponentially growing cultures of Lemna gibba were exposed to the test item over a period of 7 days (168 hours) in a semi-static system under defined conditions. Because of low solubility of the test item, test solution was prepared by utilizing the water accommodated fraction (WAF) approach (according to OECD No. 23). Growth and inhibition of growth in the test solution of the nominal test item concentration of 100 mg/L were compared with that in the control in a limit test. The effects of Blue TBR compared to the control plant development were demonstrated by the changes of average specific growth rates and yield (both calculated on the basis of frond number and dry weight). The analytically measured test item concentration was not within ± 20 % of the nominal during the test period therefore all biological results are based on the nominal and on the geometric mean of the measured test item concentrations. In this 7-day growth inhibition study on Lemna sp. (Lemna gibba) the obtained results showed that the test item Blue TBR had no toxic effects on the growth rate and yield (based on frond number) but had significant toxic effect on the growth rate and yield (based on dry weight). The overall 7-day NOEC based on frond number was determined to be 20.28 mg/L (nominal 100 mg/L) and the overall 7-day LOEC based on frond number was determined to be > 20.28 mg/L (nominal > 100 mg/L). The overall 7-day NOEC based on dry weight was determined to be < 20.28 mg/L (nominal < 100 mg/L) and the overall 7-day LOEC based on dry weight was determined to be < 20.28 mg/L (nominal < 100 mg/L). All validity criteria were met.
