New health or environmental hazard
In this study on earthworms Eisenia fetida (OECD 222), two effects were observed:(1) Earthworm mortality at concentrations of 1000 mg Flg22-Bt Peptide Technical/kg soil. No mortality or negative effects were observed at the next lowest dose tested, 500 mg/kg soil.(2) Decreased earthworm reproduction at concentrations above 26.5 mg Flg22-Bt Peptide Technical/kg soil (NOEC).This information is submitted to PMRA for review and evaluation because it meets reporting criteria. Reporting this incident does not suggest that this study presents findings of an increased health or environmental risk for the active ingredient Flg22-Bt Peptide based on Elemental Enzymes' knowledge of its known characteristics.
No
Though adverse responses were observed to the technical grade active ingredient, the doses required to cause the adverse responses exceeds the environmental exposure caused by the labelled application rate by at least 100-fold.
