German term or phrase: Substanzverabreichung
Study to examine the effects of a plant protection product on the reproduction of Japanese quails

Befruchtungsrate (Tabellen 17 und 18): Die Befruchtungsrate wies über den gesamten Vorbehandlungs- und Behandlungszeitraum hinweg sowie für die einzelnen Wochen der Substanzverabreichung keine statistisch signifikanten und/oder dosisabhängigen Unterschiede zwischen den Versuchsgruppen auf.

The 'Substanz' is the plant protection product. Is there a more commonly used term than “administration of the substance”?
KenOldfield
English translation:[active] agent/substance
Explanation:

administration of the active agent/substance, where the active agent is the pesticide

Using just "application of the agent" should also be alright/

For example:

Furthermore, a chemical application just after the introduction of natural enemies generally has more of a negative effect than when used on an established population of natural enemies. If no alternative food (such as pollen) is available, the application of agents that destroy the predatory mites’ prey will lead to the considerable reduction of the population of predatory mites.

Active substances and preparations containing one or more active substances, put up in the form in which they are supplied to the user, intended to destroy, deter, render harmless, prevent the action of, or otherwise exert a controlling effect on any harmful organism by chemical or biological means.

neutral  John Speese: I'd make absolutely sure that it was just the active ingredient and not the whole formulated product being tested before I said active agent/ingredient/substance.

  -> Surely, you test the effect of the active agent/substance in the formulated product and not the excipients, for example. Please see also above where I pointed out that just "application of the agent" is also alright (I gave an example for this).
