Evaluating the impact of biochar amendment on antibiotic resistance genes and microbiome dynamics in soil, rhizosphere, and endosphere at field scale.

Field trials using biochar on Brassica juncea and Lolium multiflorum showed reduced antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in plant endophytes. Bacteria play a key role in shaping ARGs profile, improving food safety and human health.
