Conclusions:
72 hour EC50 by percent inhibition by yield and percent inhibition by growth rate were both in the range of 1-10mg/L
Executive summary:

72 hour EC50  by percent inhibition by yield and percent inhibition by growth rate were both in the range of 1-10mg/L

Description of key information

EC50 for growth rate at 72 hours is 1.0 -10mg/L

Key value for chemical safety assessment
