- Control:
In the control and solvent control, the mean nitrate concentration, differed statistically significantly from each other, while the nitrate formation rate did not. Therefore, the controls were pooled for testing of differences in nitrate formation rate but not pooled for nitrate concentrations. In the latter, the solvent control was used for testing of differences.
ENDPOINT SPECIFIC RESULTS
Nitrate Concentration:
In the test Substrate treated with Tolyltriazole, mean nitrate concentrations decreased in concentration-effect relationship. Even though, differences in the nitrate concentrations in comparison to the solvent control after 28 days were only statistically significant at the highest test concentration 320 and 1000 mg Tolyltriazole/ kg dry soil. The EC50 and EC25 for nitrate concentration after 28 day were 1178 (95 % CI: 891-1896) and 240 (95 % CI: 209-301) mg Tolyltriazole/ kg dry soil, respectively.
Nitrate Formation Rate
In the test Substrate treated with Tolyltriazole, mean nitrate formation rate decreased in concentration-effect relationship. At the highest test concentrations (320 and 1000 mg Tolyltriazole/ kg dry soil), the nitrate Formation Rate after 28 days were statistically significant smaller than in the pooled control. The EC50 and EC25 for nitrate formation rate after 28 day were 117 (95 % CI: 74.5-202) and 48.7 (95 % CI: 28.6-76.9) mg Tolyltriazole/ kg dry soil, respectively. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- Nitrate Concentration:
The mean nitrate concentration at DAT28 in the reference item treatment was -89 % smaller
than in the solvent control and differed statistically significantly from the solvent control.
Nitrate Formation Rate:
The mean nitrate formation rate in the reference item treatment was -346 % lower than in the
pooled control and differed statistically significantly from the pooled control. - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Statistics: The two-sample Student t-test (α = 0.05) was used to test differences between control and solvent control (two-sided) and between the reference item and solvent control ( one-sided smaller).
The multiple tests (α = 0.05) was used to test differences between the test item treatments and control(s) (Williams t-test (one-sided smaller)).
Calculations of EC25 and EC50 were performed using Probit analysis and maximum likelihood regressions for nitrate concentration at Day 28 as well as linear weighted regression for soil nitrate formation rate.
The 95 % Confidence intervals were determined for each endpoint. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- This study fulfilled the validity criterion since the coefficient of variation of the controls regarding nitrate concentration was < 15 %. Based on experimental observations the effect concentrations for Nitrate formation rate EC50(28d) = 117 mg/ kg dw and for nitrate concentration EC50(28d) = 1178 mg/ kg dw, were calculated.
- Executive summary:
In this GLP study, according to OECD guideline 216, soil microorganisms were exposed for 28 days to soil treated with the test item Tolyltriazole to assess potential long-term effects on the nitrogen transformation activity.
An EC50 of 1178 [mg/ kg dry soil] was determined for nitrate concentration, while the EC50 for nitrate formation rate was tenfold lower 117 [mg/ kg dry soil].
Tolyltriazole decrease the nitrate concentration and transformation rate significantly only at higher tested concentrations (320 and 1000 mg Tolyltriazole/ kg dry soil). These results indicate that Tolyltriazole may inhibit nitrogen transformation activity of soil microorganisms at concentrations ≥ 320 mg/kg dry soil.
