Details on test conditions:
Bioassay tests were conducted on snails and worms after methods described in APHA (1985). Tests were made in 100 mL glass beakers at pH 7.5. Each concentration was tested in four replicates accompanied by controls, with either six snails or ten worms per beaker (i.e., 24 snails and 40 worms per concentration).

Details on results:
The toxicity of DAP to both species increased with increasing water temperature. In addition, in tests in which snails and worms were exposed to both DAP and the pesticide simazine, the presence of DAP fertilizer reduced the toxicity of simazine.
