Ecotoxicological test protocol for the assessment of reproductive endpoints in Non-Target Terrestrial Plants under greenhouse conditions endpoints in non-target terrestrial plants under controlled conditions

Ecotoxicological testing to assess the effects of plant protection products on non-target terrestrial plants (NTTPs) under greenhouse conditions is conducted according to standard guidelines (e.g. OECD?208 and OECD?227). EFSA’s Scientific Opinion of 2014 on the risk assessment of plant protection products (PPP) for non-target terrestrial plants raised awareness of a potential need to assess effects on plant reproduction.

Impact/Purpose

Ecotoxicological testing to assess the effects of plant protection products on non-target terrestrial plants (NTTPs) under greenhouse conditions is conducted according to standard guidelines such as OECD 208 [1] and OECD 227 [2]. EFSA’s Scientific Opinion of 2014 [3] on the risk assessment of plant protection products (PPP) for non-target terrestrial plants raised awareness of a potential need to assess effects on plant reproduction, e.g. seed production.
