e2“Diuron exhibits higher phytotoxicity in sand compared to loamy sand, with ED50 values (which is the dose at which diuron causes a 50% decrease in plant growth) of 0.03 mg kg-1 and 0.07 mg kg-1 for canola shoot biomass inhibition and 0.01 mg kg-1 and 0.06 mg kg-1 for root dry weight reduction, respectively”

Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Canola was the most sensitive of the three crops to diuron in sand.
- Observation The ED50 for canola shoot biomass inhibition in sand was 0.03 mg/kg.
- Observation The ED50 for canola shoot biomass inhibition in loamy sand was 0.07 mg/kg.
- Observation The ED50 for canola root dry weight reduction in sand was 0.01 mg/kg.
- Observation The ED50 for canola root dry weight reduction in loamy sand was 0.06 mg/kg.
- Observation The ED50 for wheat shoot biomass was 0.11 mg/kg in sand and 0.24 mg/kg in loamy sand.
- Observation The ED50 for wheat root growth inhibition in sand was 0.14 mg/kg.
- Observation The ED50 for wheat root growth inhibition in loamy sand was 0.19 mg/kg.
- Mechanism The larger ED50 values in loamy sand are attributed to higher soil organic matter and cation exchange capacity, which reduced bio-available diuron.
- Association The ED50 values were lower than label concentrations and estimated average and maximum diuron residue loads in Western Australia paddocks.
- Recommendation Average diuron residue loads in Western Australia crop fields exceed the ED50 value, so crop rotations need careful planning to avoid phytotoxicity.
- Method / resource The log-logistic non-linear regression model was the most effective of the models for determining diuron toxicity thresholds.
