- The result of total nitrogen analysis in the test substance was provided by the Sponsor, Certificate of Analysis is attached as Appendix VII of study repor Nitrate content was analysed in soil extracts on days 0, 7 and 28 using a spectrophotometric assay.
- Details on sampling:
- Analysis of soil samples
The amount of nitrate formed in each treated and control replicate was determined at each sampling time, day 0, day 7 and day 28.
Nitrate was extracted from soil by shaking soil samples with 0.1 M potassium chloride solution in the 100 ml glass bottle at a ratio 1:5 (the fresh equivalent of 10 g dry soil to 50 ml 0.1M KCl). The soil suspensions were shaken at about 270 rpm for one hour. The extracts were purified, initially centrifuged at about 3500 rpm for 10 min and then filtered using a 0.45 µm membrane filter. Extraction blanks (extractant without soil) were included to check for impurities during the extraction procedure. The clear extracts were analysed immediately for nitrate concentration using UV-light spectrophotometric technique6, which is suitable for liquid samples with low content of dissolved organic compounds. Each extract was measured in two aliquots for each wavelength. Results are presented as the content of nitrogen in the form of nitrate (designated as NO3--N).
Calibration standards in the range 0.5 – 5.0 mg NO3--N /l were prepared according to the calculation sheet (Appendix VIII) to obtain the calibration curve. A portion of 20 ml of each calibration standard, blank or sample, was treated with 0.4 ml 1N HCl. The absorbance of the solution was recorded at two wavelengths; 220 nm (absorbance of nitrate ion) and 275 nm (interference control) using UV-VIS spectrophotometer (BK-S380, Biobase, CN). Soil extracts with detected absorbance out of the range of calibration standards were diluted by a suitable dilution factor, and the dilution was taken into account during the calculation of nitrate concentration.
- Sample storage conditions before analysis:
if standard soil is used, soils may be stored in the dark at 4 ± 2 °C for a maximum of three months. During the storage of soils, aerobic conditions must be ensured. If soils are collected from areas where they are frozen for at least three months per year, storage for six months at minus 18°C to minus 22°C can be considered. The microbial biomass of stored soils is measured prior to each experiment and the carbon in the biomass should be at least 1 % of the total soil organic carbon content.
Test substrate

- AMENDMENT OF SOIL
- Type of organic substrate:
A standard LUFA soil, type 2.3 was used for the experiment.
Supplier: LUFA Speyer, Speyer, Germany
Batch: Sp 2.3 0322

Organic carbon content and total nitrogen were determined at the i2L Research Europe s.r.o. laboratory. Organic carbon analysed by loss on ignition was 46.4±0.1% C. Total nitrogen was measured in the solution after the Kjeldahl procedure (wet digestion of soil sample with a strong acid) using a standard ammonia ion selective electrode. Total nitrogen content was 3.78±0.02% N. The C/N ratio of lucerne powder was 12.3.
The lucerne-soil ratio used for the test was 5 g of lucerne per kilogram of soil (dry weight).
APPLICATION OF TEST SUBSTANCE TO SOIL
The soil is divided into 6 portions of equal weight. Five of the samples are mixed with the test substance, and the sixth sample is homogenized without the chemical.
Each sample will be divided into 3 replicates for both treatments and control. Care is taken to ensure homogenous distribution of the test substance in the treated soil samples. During mixing, compacting or balling of the soil are avoided.

DETAILS OF PREINCUBATION OF SOIL (if any):
Preincubation

The temperature during the preincubation was controlled by datalogger, mean temperature was 20.7°C, min. 19.3°C, max. 21.7°C. The soil moisture content of the soil during preincubation was adjusted to 55% of the maximum water holding capacity using deionised water and checked regularly (at least twice a week) to prevent water loss.
Substrate amendment
The soil was amended with fine lucerne powder (100% Medicago sativa, supplier: ManuTea.cz, CZ) at the beginning of the preincubation. Organic carbon content and total nitrogen were determined at the i2L Research Europe s.r.o. laboratory. Organic carbon analysed by loss on ignition4 was 46.4±0.1% C. Total nitrogen was measured in the solution after the Kjeldahl procedure5 (wet digestion of soil sample with a strong acid) using a standard ammonia ion selective electrode. Total nitrogen content was 3.78±0.02% N. The C/N ratio of lucerne powder was 12.3. For details on the procedures used for determination of organic carbon and nitrogen content in lucerne powder, see Appendices X and XI.

- Executive summary:
A laboratory study was conducted to investigate the long-term effects of SDA PRODUKT ODSÍŘENÍ T700, after a single exposure, on nitrogen transformation activity of soil microorganisms. The study followed the OECD Guideline for the testing of chemicals - Test No. 216: Soil Microorganisms: Nitrogen Transformation Test. The study was conducted at i2L Research Europe s.r.o. in České Budějovice, Czech Republic.
Standard soil was amended with lucerne powder as a source of energy and nutrients for the microbial community prior to the test. The test substance was applied to the soil at five rates with dilution step 3 with the highest rate at 10 g of product/kg dry soil. Soil with the test substance was incubated over 28 days at 20°C. Nitrate formation over the incubation period was determined. Nitrate content was analysed in soil extracts on days 0, 7 and 28 using a spectrophotometric assay.
None of the tested application rates of the product to the soil caused inhibition of nitrogen transformation compared to untreated control soil. Therefore, the effective concentration value EC50 was not defined. On the opposite, each product addition caused stimulation of nitrate formation in soil over the 28-day incubation period; the higher the product addition in the tested range, the higher the stimulation. The highest application rate 10 g product/ kg dry soil increased nitrate formation by 95.2% as compared to untreated soil. Product addition also increased soil pH.
