  1. In column ‘Guidance Documents/recommendations followed’, HARAP means higher tier aquatic risk assessment for pesticides [68] and CLASSIC stands for community-level aquatic system studies—interpretation criteria [69]. In column “Type of aquatic model ecosystem study’, model ecosystem studies with water volumes greater than 15 m3 are classified as ‘mesocosm’ in accordance with EFSA [17]. Establishment period (= pre-treatment period) started after the addition of sediment and water in the test units (ponds) and ended with the first test item application. The column ‘Pesticide type’ lists the type of substance described according to the type of pest or disease they control (A: acaricide; F: fungicide, I: insecticide; IGR: insect growth regulator). The column ‘No. repl Ctr’ lists the number of control replicates, the column ‘No. repl T’ includes the number of replicates in each test item treatment group. ‘n.s.’: not stated
