Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
OECD 201 Algal Growth inhibition was determined for the test substance based on a formulation of the test substance into a base (vehicle). The IC50 for both the base and the test substance formulation were determined for a concentration range of 0.31% to 5% base formulation. The test result graphs show the independent determinations for the base formulation alone and with the addition of 10% test substance. Non-linear regression and curve fit was applied to determine the IC50. For the base formulation the IC60 was 4460 ppm. For the finished formulation containing 10% test substance, the IC50 was determined to be 359 ppm for the concentration of test substance.
