- Statistical methods:
- Statistical analyses included calculations of means, standard deviations, correlation coefficients, and t-tests for the interpretation and summarization of results. Regressions, means, standard deviations, tabular and calculated t-values, and correlation coefficients were calculated using Microsoft Excel. Radiochromatograms were reconstructed from liquid scintillation counts of the HPLC fractions using a macro in Excel.
Sample aliquot values were divided by the application rate and multiplied by 100 to obtain the percent applied radioactivity. Similarly, HPLC % of parent values were multiplied by percent of applied radioactivity and divided by 100 to obtain the percent of parent in the sample. - Preliminary study:
- Material balance: The average material balance for the preliminary study was found to be 99.2% ± 4.78 (ranging from 91.4% to 109.9%) of applied during the study. Recovery of radiocarbon from HPLC analysis ranged from 96.0% to 108.1% of injected.

- Executive summary:
A hydrolysis study was conducted with 14C-test substance to meet EEC Method C7 and OECD Method 111 guidelines. The preliminary test was conducted for five days in the dark at 50°C in natural water and pH 4, 7, and 9 sterile buffers. Natural river water was collected from the White River in Morgan County, Indiana, USA. Buffer solutions were prepared using 0.05 M acetate, HEPES and borate buffers for the nominal pH 4, 7 and 9 buffers, respectively. Natural water and buffers were dosed with a concentration of approximately 0.5 mg/mL 14C-test substance. Five time points (0, 2, 4, 24 and 120 hours) were taken during the preliminary test and analyzed by liquid scintillation counting (LSC) and high performance chromatography/thin layer chromatography (HPLC/TLC) analysis. The material balance averaged 99.2% ± 4.78% (ranging from 91.4% to 109.9%) of applied. The preliminary test indicated that degradation of the test substance occurred after 5 days at 50°C. A definitive test was therefore conducted at 20°C. Natural water and pH 9 samples were incubated for 24 hours and the material balance averaged 99.4% ± 3.98 (ranging from 93.4% to 108.7%) of applied. Additional samples were incubated for 31 days in natural water, and at pH 4, 7 and 9 buffers with an average material balance of 97.6% ± 4.01% (range 89.8% to 104.8%) of applied. No degradation was observed at pH 4 at 20°C. The observed half-lives for natural water, pH 7 and 9 buffers were 3 days, 43 days and 0.63 days, respectively. In natural water, pH 7 and 9 buffers, the test substance hydrolyzed to haloxyfop-R acid, which was then observed to be stable.
