Impact of binary mixtures of ketoprofen and diclofenac on the germination of Sorghum bicolor (sorgo) seeds

Research was carried out for various ratios of the previously determined EC50 values for mixture of ketoprofen and diclofenac, the first substance at 100% of its EC50 concentration was mixed with the second substance at 100% of its EC50 concentration, or the first substance at 50% of its EC50 concentration was mixed with the second substance at 150% of its EC50 concentration. Distilled water was used as the control, and individual pharmaceuticals at 50, 100, and 150% of their EC50 concentrations were also studied to confirm the test validity. All studies were performed in duplicate, except for the EC50 determination research, in which studies were performed in triplicates; ten S. bicolor seeds were used for each experiment. As already stated, after a 3-day incubation period, the root length was measured, and the growth inhibition was calculated.
The data sets include photos of sorghum seed plates with ketoprofen and diclofenac solutions  at appropriate levels according to the publication, and corresponding excel files with data on the length of germinated seeds (using Jimage graphical software) in two replicates, as well as controls.
Studies were conducted between 2017.These results are part of the manuscript published in Science of the Total Environment
