A soil that does not contain concentrations of one or more contaminants which could affect the survival, reproduction, growth or behaviour of the test organisms.

CONT

Negative control soil might be natural soil from an uncontaminated site, or artificial (formulated) soil.

The use of negative control soil provides a basis for interpreting data derived from toxicity tests using test soil(s).
