  1. Concentrations are reported in µg L−1 (95% confidence intervals). Relative equivalent potencies (ReP) of each herbicide are derived by comparing SGR EC50 of each herbicide to the reference herbicide diuron.
  2. Calculated ReP values in italics to differentiate from modelled no effect and effect concentration values.
  3. NA  denotes data not measured.
