Description of key information

Toxicity to soil macroorganisms: The purpose of this study was to determine the sublethal effects of the test item on reproduction, mortality and growth of the earthworm Eisenia fetida in a laboratory test. Mortality and biomass change were determined after 4 weeks and reproduction was determined after 8 weeks. The NOEC (reproduction) was determined to be 38.7 mg a.s./kg soil d.w.


 


Toxicity to arthropods: A study was to determine potential effects of different concentrations of the test item on the reproductive output of the collembolans Folsomia candida during a test period of 28 days. The overall NOEC was determined to be 39.1 mg a.s./kg soil d.w.


 


Toxicity to terrestrial plants (foliar application and soil surface application):


Following a foliar application of Propineb at 4.62 kg a.s./ha (corresponding to 1.54 mg a.s./kg soil d.w.) to ten non-target terrestrial plant species at the 2 to 4 leaf stage, no adverse effects on survival, visual phytotoxicity, growth and shoot dry weight exceeding 50% effect were observed in this vegetative vigour study.


Following a soil surface application of Propineb at 4.62 kg a.s./ha (corresponding to 1.54 mg a.s./kg soil d.w.) to ten non-target terrestrial plant species, no adverse effects on emergence, seedling survival, visual phytotoxicity, growth and shoot dry weight exceeding 50% effect were observed in this seedling emergence and seedling growth study.


 


Toxicity to soil microorganisms: A study was conducted to determine the effects of propineb on the activity of soil microflora with regard to nitrogen transformation in a laboratory test. Propineb caused no adverse effects (difference to control <25%, OECD 216) on the soil nitrogen transformation (measured as NO3-N production) at the end of the 70-day incubation period. The NOEC was determined to be 27.9 mg a.s/kg soil.
