- APPLICATION OF TEST SUBSTANCE TO SOIL
In 1975 the soil was placed in concrete frames of 1 × 1 × 1 m (1 m3). The underlying material was a layer of peat (about 15 cm thick).
All compounds were mixed with the A horizon in one to three additions, depending on the amount added, in 1975 and 1976. All treatments were carried out fourfold in two concentrations, 16 controls remaining untreated. In the following years tomatoes, potatos, beans, rye, wheat, barley, and rape seed were grown on the plot. Weeds were removed occasionally. The soil was dug up twice a year in spring and autumn.

- TEST SYSTEM
- Testing facility:
The A horizon (0-25 cm) of a sandy cambisol from a field trial of the Biologische Bundesanstalt (Berlin-West) was used. It contained 9°70 clay, 12°/0 silt, 79070 sand, 1.2°/0 organic C, 0.080/0 total N and had a pH (CaC12) of 6.0. The cation exchange capacity was 10.3 mEq/100 g.
All treatments were carried out fourfold in two concentrations, 16 controls remaining untreated.

EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED:
- soil content in vanadium
- N mineralisation; 3 ml deionized water was added to a 10-g sample of field-moist soil in a 100-ml Erlenmeyer flask and incubated at 25 °C. After 28 days mineralised NH4+ and NO3- were extracted with 50 ml of 1 M K2SO 4 and measured photometrically as described by Beck (1983). All experiments were carried out with six replicates. Two replicates were frozen at the beginning of the incubation to determine initial NH4+ and NO3-.tio
- inhibition of mineralisation
- nitrification: determined according to Beck (1976). Ten grams of soil were saturated with 3 ml distilled water in 100-ml flasks and 1 ml of a 1% (NH4)2SO 4 solution was added as the NH4+ source. The flasks were stoppered and incubated at 25 °C.
After 21 days mineralised NH4+ and nitrified NO3- were determined as described above. Nitrification was expressed as the percentage of mineralised NH4+. - Nominal and measured concentrations:
- 100 mg/kg for V+
400 mg/kg for V2+ - Reference substance (positive control):

- Details on results:
- The results of these long-term experiments are in contrast to most results of short-term laboratory studies. As N mineralisation in the laboratory was negatively affected by most pollutants tested, it must be assumed that nitrifying bacteria became adapted to these compounds in the field, over a longer period of time.
Concerning nitrification, vanadium failed to inhibit it, but 400 mg V/kg added to soil stimulate nitrification with 20% more than in the control soil.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- not applicable
- Executive summary:
Long term effects of vanadium on N-mineralisation and nitrification were studied in a sandy cambisol, in a field study after 8 or 9 years following contamination.
As N mineralisation in the laboratory was negatively affected by most pollutants tested, it must be assumed that nitrifying bacteria became adapted to these compounds in the field, over a longer period of time.
Concerning nitrification, vanadium failed to inhibit it, but 400 mg V/kg added to soil stimulate nitrification with 20% more than in the control soil.
The effect values deducted were;
V2+ NOEC= 400 mg/kg added for N-mineralisation
V+ NOEC= 100 mg/kg added for nitrification
V2+ LOEC= 400 mg/kg added for nitrification (stimulation)
