Administrative data

Endpoint:
toxicity to terrestrial plants: long-term
Type of information:
migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2001-05-09 to 2001-11-08
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: GLP guideline study, tested with the source substance CAS 1318-02-1. According to the ECHA Guidance Document "Practical guide 6: How to report read-across and categories (March 2010)", the reliability was changed from RL1 to RL2.

Any other information on results incl. tables

85% of the control seeds produced healthy seedlings exhibiting normal growth throughout the test.
EC50 for growth was determined as 4 g/kg, LC50 for emergence was 5 g/kg and NOEC growth was stated as 0.5 g/kg.

At higher concentrations (15 g/kg), phytotoxic effects could be observed. Some of the seedlings showed a little emergence, but most of them could not unfurl even the cotyledon. If initial germination (until unfurling of the cotyledon) occurred completely, effect on growth seems to be a function of time only. Seeds in the control emerged significantly earlier than in treatments.
However, the effects seem to be due to the water availability within the soil. The soil with the test substance incorporated was very dense, i.e. the resulting mixture hardens strongly so that the seeds are not able to penetrate the soil. So the phyotoxic effects seem to depend on the physical properties of the test substance. At concentrations of 1.5 g/kg and below, no phytotoxic effects could be determined.
