- Changes in body weight of live adults (% of initial weight) at end of exposure period: Mean fresh weights of surviving worms were reduced by 3.3 % in the control and 3.4, 5.0 and 7.4 % for the 100, 500 and 1000 mg Xyligen LP 15684/kg soil d.w. treated groups, respectively. The weight reduction was statistically significant (p ≤ 0.05) relative to the control at the test item concentrations of 500 and 1000 mg Xyligen LP 15684/kg soil d.w., respectively.
- Morphological abnormalities: 0 %
- Behavioural abnormalities: 0 %
- Other biological observations: none observed - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- To verify the sensitivity of the test system, the reference item 2-chloroacetamide was routinely tested at concentrations of 14.1, 18.3, 23.8, 31.0 and 40.4 mg a.i./kg soil dry weight. In the most recent test, dated 07.07.2004 (BioChem project No.: TEA-R 04 10 48 002), the 14-day LC50 was calculated as 29.98 mg a.i./kg soil dry weight.
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The endpoints were mortality and fresh weight of surviving worms after 14 days. The arithmetic mean and the standard deviation per treatment and control for biomass were calculated.
The statistical analysis was performed with the software ToxRat Professional 2.07 (RATTE 2002). The DUNNETT-test was used to compare the control with the independent test item groups and showed a non-significant or a significant difference between both.
For statistical evaluation of the body weight change, the changed mean fresh weight of surviving worms per replicate was used.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- The validity criterion for the control group was accomplished: adult mortality: ≤ 10 % (being 0 % after 14 days)
- Conclusions:
- In a 14-day toxicity study with Xyligen LP 15684 (K-HDO 30 % in water) on earthworm (Eisenia fetida) the LC50 was determined to be greater than 1000 mg Xyligen LP 15684/kg soil dry weight. The NOEC was determined to be 100 mg Xyligen LP 15684/kg soil dry weight.
- Executive summary:
The study was performed according to OECD 207 (1984). The artificial soil filled in glass vessels was treated with different concentrations of the test item before earthworms were placed on top of the soil. Four treatment groups (three test item concentrations, one water treated control) with four replicates each and each containing ten adult earthworms. The number of surviving adult earthworms and their weight loss after 14 days as well as behaviour and pathological symptoms were determined.
The test item caused no mortality at any tested concentrations. No mortality occurred in the control group. No abnormal behaviour or toxic symptoms of the worms were observed in any treatment or control group during the test.
Mean fresh weights of surviving worms were reduced by 3.3 % in the control and 3.4, 5.0 and 7.4 % for the 100, 500 and 1000 mg test item/kg soil d.w. treated groups, respectively. The weight reduction was statistically significant (p ≤ 0.05) relative to the control at the test item concentrations of 500 and 1000 mg test item/kg soil d.w., respectively.
Based on the statistical evaluation of these results, the no-observed-effect-concentration (NOEC) was determined at 100 mg test item/kg soil dry weight.
The LC50could not be calculated but it can be concluded that the LC50is greater than 1000 mg/test item/kg soil dry weight.
