Abstract:
      In order to explore four typical veterinary antibiotics'[oxytetracycline(OTC), doxycycline(DOX), enrofloxacin(ENR), ofloxacin(OFL)] biological toxicological effects toward three common field crops(wheat, corn, sorghum), four antibiotics' impacts with different concentration toward the length of root and bud for wheat, corn and sorghum were studied by Hydroponic method. The results show that oxytetracycline and doxycycline have similar toxic effects on the three crops, and the effective degree of crops is wheat > sorghum > corn; enrofloxacin and ofloxacin have similar toxic effects on the three crops, and the effective degree of crops is wheat > corn > sorghum. Comparison of growth of crop root and growth result of bud tells us, the root of the three crops is more sensitive to the antibiotics in environment. The difference in sensitivity degree of the three crops to antibiotic is significant. The sensitivity degree of wheat to four antibiotics is ENR > OFL > OTC > DOX. The sensitivity degree of corn to the four antibiotics is ENR > DOX > OTC > OFL. The sensitivity degree of sorghum to the four antibiotics is DOX > OTC > ENR > OFL. The experimental result provides necessary data base for evaluating influence of antibiotics on crops.
