| Abstract: |
| Four types of vegetables, including lettuce, leaf lettuce, pakchoi, and rape were selected as research objects to explore the ecotoxicity of cephalosporin C on vegetable growth in the harmless disposal process of cephalosporin residue and fertilizer utilization. The germination rate of seeds, the fresh weight of seedlings, and the hypocotyl and radicle lengths were used as toxicity sensitivity indicators. The dose-response relation between seven concentration levels of cephalosporin C solution and four different vegetables was studied using the moisturizing culture method, and differences in the ecotoxicity and relative sensitivity indexes of different vegetables under cephalosporin C stress were analyzed. The results placed the ecological sensitivity indicators of different vegetables in the following order:radicle > fresh weight > hypocotyl > germination rate, and there was a significant linear relationship between the concentration of the cephalosporin C solution and the radicle growth rate of the four vegetables(P<0.01). The no observed effect concentrations(NOEC)of cephalosporin C for the four vegetables were 868.10 mg·L-1, 727.25 mg·L-1, 796.39 mg·L-1, and 629.27 mg·L-1. The toxicity sensitivities of the four vegetables to cephalosporin C were ranked as follows:rape > leaf lettuce > pakchoi > lettuce, in which the IC50 value of rape was 1 538.36 mg·L-1. The results indicate that rape is more suitable as a plant ecotoxicity indicator than leaf lettuce, pakchoi, and lettuce. |
