Native New Zealand Broadleaf
Potted plants in laboratory setting used- Average maximum concentration of 1080 found was 0.06ppm at 10 days
- 1080 was near the minimal limits of detection after 38 days (Ogilvie et al. 1998)

Ryegrass
- Potted plants in laboratory setting used
- 1080 rapidly taken up, average maximum concentration 0.08ppm at 3 days
- Elimination of 1080 rapid, and returned to baseline concentrations after 7 days
- Maximum amount measured only 0.015% of the 1080 initially present in a single bait.
- At the average maximum concentration, a 50kg sheep would have to eat about 250kg of ryegrass for a 50% chance of dying (Ogilvie et al. 1998)

Pikopiko
A field study creating a worse-case scenario placed single 1080 baits next to individual plants. Plant tissues were sampled over time, up to 56 days.- No 1080 was detected in this species (Ogilvie et al. 2006)

Karamuramu
A field study creating a worse-case scenario placed single 1080 baits next to individual plants. Plant tissues were sampled over time, up to 56 days- 1080 was detected at a maximum concentration of 5ppb after 7 days. This equates to around 0.0004% of the 1080 originally present in a single bait
- No 1080 was detected after 28 days
- At 5ppb, a 70kg human would have to eat 28 tonnes to have a 50% chance of dying (Ogilvie et al. 2006)

Aquatic Plant - Elodea canadensis
- Laboratory experiment with stream water and introduced aquatic plant in 80L aquaria at 11°C and 21°C. A maximum 1080 concentration of 0.08µg/ml was found after 24 hours for both temperatures. After 192 hours, no 1080 was detected at 21°C, but traces of 1080 were still present at 11°C (Ogilvie et al. 1996)

Aquatic Plant - Myriophyllum triphyllum
- Laboratory experiment with stream water and endemic New Zealand aquatic plant in 2L aquaria at 7°C and 23°C. A maximum 1080 concentration of 25ppb was found after 24 hours for both temperatures. Average concentrations fell below the minimum detection limit after 3 days at 23°C, and after 13 days at 7°C (Ogilvie et al. 1995)
