Crop field trials: Volatilization

Study

Environmental, Field Trials

Volatilization field trials (e.g., OPPTS 835.8100) are required for crop protection products if laboratory studies show significant volatilization from soil. In actual use, volatilization from soil, water and plant surfaces can be important emission routes, potentially affecting operators and bystanders via inhalation and having effects on non-target species and adjacent crops. Field studies are designed to reflect real-world application practices in representative locations; they include application to bare soil and, if appropriate, standing crops. Air sampling is carried out over many days to establish a dissipation curve. Volatility and air concentrations are reported for the product and any degradation products previously identified in laboratory studies.

About our nonclinical animal research models: We provide the utmost care for our research animals and actively pursue advances in animal welfare. As well as ensuring the highest scientific, ethical and regulatory standards, selection of appropriate animal research models for development research is critical to developing safe and effective treatments, devices and products that protect and save lives. Just as we have ethical committee oversight for human trials, we have ethical committees overseeing all aspects of our global animal care and use programs. All of our core, nonclinical facilities are accredited by AAALAC. Learn more about our commitment to replacing, reusing and refining nonclinical research models.
