Wording DT50 normalised to 20°C for laboratory incubations 25 or not normalised DT50 for field studies (SFO equivalent, when biphasic, the DT90 was divided by 3.32 to estimate the DT50 when deciding on the wording to use)
Very low persistence < 1 day
Low persistence 1 to < 10 days
Moderate persistence 10 to < 60 days
Medium persistence 60 to < 100 days

Very high persistence A year or more
