Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Any other information on results incl. tables

RS-Freetext:
- test substance caused chlorosis in young leaves of chrysanthemum, tomato, corn and bean
- Sensitivity of corn and chrysanthemum to DEAE was
cultivar-dependend: chrysanthemum cultivar "Indianapolis
White" was sensitive to low concentrations of DEAE, while
"Bonnie Jean", "Velvet Ridge" and "Mistletoe" were less so,
and corn "3XD50" was sensitive to DEAE while "Ohio 28" was
not.
- The presence of latent chrysanthemum chlorotic mottle viroid (ChCMV-L) increased the sensitivity of "Bonnie Jean" and "Velvet Ridge" to DEAE.
- Infection of tomatoes with mild or severe strains of potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTV) resulted in increased
sinsitivity to DEAE under conditions of environmental
stress.
- Leaves of chrysanthemum exhibition DEAE-induced chlorosis
contained higher, but non-toxic, levels of iron and other
minerals than those from non DEAE-treated plants.

- Chrysanthemum cultivars varied in their sensitivity to DEAE.
- Symptoms were generally restricted to leaves which developed after initiation of DEAE exposure, and included chlorosis, epinasty, stunting and necrosis.
- All "Indianapolis White" (4/4) exhibited chlorosis 7 days
after exposure to 1E-2 ml DEAE added to non-sterile soil
(725 ml pot).
- At 1E-4 ml/pot, only 50 % (2/4) of the plants were chlorotic after 22 days.
