- guideline study
- Justification for type of information:
- Considered suitable for read-across
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline

- Test temperature:
- 22.0 – 29.0°C
- Details on test conditions:
- humidity: 42 – 78% lighting: 16 h light : 8 h dark light intensity: 4310 – 5000 lux carbon dioxide concentration: 352 – 390 ppm
- Reference substance (positive control):
- no
- Species:
- Daucus carota
- Duration:
- 14 d
- Dose descriptor:
- EC50
- Effect conc.:
- 52.5 mg/kg soil dw
- Basis for effect:
- growth
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The test item had a varied impact on the growth and seedling emergence of the test plant species. The impact depended on the concentration and species.After application of the test item at the concentration of 1000.0 mg/kg dry weight of soil, pea, carrot, and tomato did not emerge.The lowest EC50 value was 52.5 mg/kg dry weight of soil (carrot). It was determined on the basis of shoot length measurements at the end of the experiment.Shoot length and dry weight measurements proved that the test item inhibited the process of growth of carrot, tomato, and pea. It also slightly inhibited the growth of sunflower, oilseed rape, and barley.Phytotoxic symptoms were observed. These were delayed growth and mortality.The following order of the test plant sensitivity was noticed: carrot > tomato > oilseed rape > sunflower > pea > barley.
- Executive summary:
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of SODIUM ETHYL XANTHATE on seedling emergence and seedling growth of 5 dicotyledonous and 1 monocotyledonous test plants.The test item (an aqueous solution) was introduced to thesoilafterseeds had been sown.In case ofeach species,sixconcentrations of the test itemwere used. There was a concurrent control group.Each concentration and the control group were divided into four replicates.The experiment was conducted in a special room. Suitable environmental conditions for each test species were provided. During the experiment, the plants were observed for emergence (every day) and visual phytotoxicity (after 7 and 14 days). The experiment finished 14 days after the emergence of 50% of the control seedlings. At the end of the experiment, the number of surviving plants was determined. Next, the plants were cut down, measured, dried to a constant weight at 60ºC, and weighed.
The results concerning the shoot length, the dry weight, and the number of plants at the end of the experiment were statistically analyzed in order to determine the EC25, EC50, NOEC.
