Abstract:
:Herbicide drift may cause adverse effects on natural and semi-natural plant communities, and it has been debated whether the current ecological risk assessments are adequate to protect non-target terrestrial plant species (NTTP). In this study, nine NTTPs with different lifespans (three annual/ six perennial) belonging to six different plant families were exposed to four herbicides with different modes of action at the vegetative (6-8 leaf) and reproductive (bud) stages separately. The plant tests were conducted under controlled conditions in two greenhouses, one located in Denmark and one in Canada. For both growth stages, effects were recorded on vegetative (aboveground biomass three weeks after treatment) and reproductive endpoints (number and germinability of seeds). In most cases, responses following exposure at the juvenile stage were greater than responses following exposure at the reproductive stage. For the combinations of herbicides and plant species included in the present study, we found that the sensitivity of vegetative and reproductive endpoints were equal or vegetative endpoints were more sensitive than reproductive endpoints. We also found that annual species were more sensitive than perennial species. The overall conclusions cover many different response patterns, and it is evident that some effects may not be found in the currently used standard tests. Generally, more pronounced effects were obtained in Denmark compared to Canada, highlighting the fact that even under standardized test conditions and following common guidelines, several uncontrollable factors can still induce variable results.
