- Remarks:
- This study was performed according to OECD TG 208. As all validity criteria were met and no deviation from the current guidelines occurred, this study can be considered as high quality (Klimisch Score 1).
- Analytical monitoring:
- no
- Details on sampling:
- Visual phytotoxicity ratings (e.g. chlorosis, necrosis) were recorded for the replicates at each application rate on day 7 and 14 after the emergence of 70% of the seeds in the controls. Phytotoxicity was assessed according to EPPO Standard 135 from survived plants. Phytotoxicity is a subjective assessment and was recorded from the living plants at each assessment time. Plants considered as being dead were not rated for phytotoxicity. Dead plants were removed after counting.
The shoot dry weight was determined at the final assessment. The dry weight was determined on a replicate basis, i.e. all plants in one pot were weighed together. The plants of one pot represent one replicate. Plants were cut directly upon the soil surface and put in already preweighed bags. The bags containing the plants were dried at 60oC and reweighed. The weight of each bag was subtracted from the bag containing the dried plant material in order to obtain the shoot dry weight of each replicate. For the statistical analysis and the reporting the weight of one replicate was divided by the number of plants per pot, resulting in a mean weight per shoot value for each pot. - Vehicle:
- no
- Details on preparation and application of test substrate:
- The spray solution was applied once, at test initiation on the soil surface. The blank control spray solution was 200 L deionized water/ha. The test item was dissolved in deionized water and was applied once with 200 L/ha using a spray chamber equipped with an overhead nozzle, with nozzle height set at 30 cm above the sprayed surface. Application speed: 2 km/h; Spray pressure: 4.1 bar.
The sprayer was calibrated beforehand to deliver 200 L/ha ± 10% by spraying glass plates of known weight and area and weighing them immediately afterwards in order to determine the actual amount of water applied. The mean measured application rate was 204 L/ha calculated based on the values from 5 weighed glass plates.

Emergence was reduced in Beta vulgaris (Sugar beet) by 11.1%.
Survival was not affected in nine of the tested species. Survival was reduced in Allium cepa (Onion) by 5.3%. There were no observed phytotoxic symptoms in any of the tested plant species. Shoot dry weight was increased in Beta vulgaris (Sugar beet), Brassica napus (Oilseed rape), Cucumis sativus (Cucumber), Allium cepa (Onion), Lolium perenne (Ryegrass) and Zea mays (Corn) by 6.7, 0.2, 4.4, 60.2, 24.6 and 8.2%, respectively. Shoot dry weight was reduced in Glycine max (Soybean), Helianthus annuus (Sunflower), Lycopersicon esculentum (Tomato) and Sorghum sudanense (Sorghum) by 0.9, 1.0, 6.3 and 14.0%, respectively. - Reported statistics and error estimates:

- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- Following a soil surface application of Propineb WG 70A W at 4.62 kg a.s./ha to ten non-target terrestrial plant species. This study is based on the following method: OECD Guideline for the testing of Chemicals, Terrestrial Plant Test OECD 208: Seedling Emergence and Seedling Growth Test, July 2006. This study can be considered valid as the validity criteria of at least 70% emergence and at least 90% survival of the emerged seedlings during the study period were achieved for the untreated controls of all species tested no adverse effects on emergence, seedling survival, visual phytotoxicity, growth and shoot dry weight exceeding 50% effect were observed in this seedling emergence and seedling growth study.
- Executive summary:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate potential phytotoxic effects of Propineb on the seedling emergence and growth of ten non-target terrestrial plant species following a pre-emergence application of 4.62 kg a.s./ha (corresponding to 1.54 mg a.s./kg soil d.w.) onto the soil surface. The parameters measured were emergence, survival of the emerged seedlings, visual phytotoxicity, plant growth stage and shoot dry weight.
A total of ten species were tested in this seedling emergence and growth test including six dicotyledonous and four monocotyledonous species representing eight plant families. The following species were treated: Beta vulgaris (Sugar beet), Brassica napus (Oilseed rape), Cucumis sativus (Cucumber), Glycine max (Soybean), Helianthus annuus (Sunflower), Lycopersicon esculentum (Tomato), Allium cepa (Onion), Lolium perenne (Ryegrass), Sorghum sudanense (Sorghum) and Zea mays (Corn)
Five seeds of each species were sown in 10.5 cm pots in the glasshouse. The soil surface of the pots were treated with 4.62 kg a.s./ha Propineb formulation using a laboratory track sprayer and a water volume rate of 200 L/ha. Each pot (replicate) contained 5 seeds and there were 20 seeds treated i.e. 4 replicates. Control pots were treated with deionised water.
This study can be considered valid as the validity criteria of at least 70% emergence and at least 90% survival of the emerged seedlings during the study period were achieved for the untreated controls of all species tested. Following a soil surface application of Propineb WG 70A W at 4.62 kg a.s./ha to ten non-target terrestrial plant species, no adverse effects on emergence, seedling survival, visual phytotoxicity, growth and shoot dry weight exceeding 50% effect were observed in this seedling emergence and seedling growth study.
