Biological test method for measuring terrestrial plants exposed to contaminants in soil: appendix F
Appendix F - Variations in Recommended Test Species for Tests of Emergence and Growth in Soil Using Terrestrial Plants, as Described in International Methodology Documents
The following source documents are listed chronologically, by originating agency rather than by author(s).
OECD 1984a - the standard guideline for testing the effect of chemicals on the growth of terrestrial plants, published by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (Paris, France) in 1984.
ISO 1995 - an international standard test method for testing the effects of chemicals on the emergence and growth of higher plants, published by the International Organization for Standardization in Geneva, Switzerland.
ASTM-94 - the standard practice (E 1598-94) for conducting early seedling growth tests to assess soil toxicity, written for the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) under the jurisdiction of ASTM Subcommittee E47.11 on plant toxicity and published in February 1998. In 2003, this method was withdrawn as a separate standard and was included as an annex to E 1963-98.
