“…Moreover, anthropogenic activities have a great impact on the environmental resistome because large amounts of antimicrobials are produced annually and, through diverse pathways, such as manure fertilization, are spread into the environment (Figure 1) [139]. Thus, intensive animal production is often considered the major cause responsible for the increased environmental burden of antibiotics [167,168]. Antibiotics in the soil can also cause adverse effects in soil plants [35,167].…”

Antibiotics in the soil can also cause adverse effects in soil plants [35,167]. It is crucial to reduce the amounts of antimicrobials that end up in soil, either due to the prudent use of antimicrobials or by composting techniques.…”

The increasing demand for animal-derived foods has led to intensive and large-scale livestock production with the consequent formation of large amounts of manure. Livestock manure is widely used in agricultural practices as soil fertilizer worldwide. However, several antibiotic residues, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and antibiotic-resistant bacteria are frequently detected in manure and manure-amended soils. This review explores the role of manure in the persistence and dissemination of ARGs in the environment, analyzes the procedures used to decrease antimicrobial resistance in manure and the potential impact of manure application in public health. We highlight that manure shows unique features as a hotspot for antimicrobial gene dissemination by horizontal transfer events: richness in nutrients, a high abundance and diversity of bacteria populations and antibiotic residues that may exert a selective pressure on bacteria and trigger gene mobilization; reduction methodologies are able to reduce the concentrations of some, but not all, antimicrobials and microorganisms. Conjugation events are often seen in the manure environment, even after composting. Antibiotic resistance is considered a growing threat to human, animal and environmental health. Therefore, it is crucial to reduce the amount of antimicrobials and the load of antimicrobial resistant bacteria that end up in soil.

“…While organic amendments can contribute significantly to soil and plant wellness, they can be problematic if they are not adequately applied or managed. Thus, high concentrations of different antibiotics have been detected in some animal manures, which has become a major health concern over the past decade (Zhou et al, 2020). In addition, when improperly handled, livestock manure can adversely affect soil microorganisms and ecosystems while polluting rivers and underground water sources (Tian et al, 2021).…”

Plant Disease Management: Leveraging on the Plant-Microbe-Soil Interface in the Biorational Use of Organic Amendments

et al. 2021

Agriculture is faced with many challenges including loss of biodiversity, chemical contamination of soils, and plant pests and diseases, all of which can directly compromise plant productivity and health. In addition, inadequate agricultural practices which characterize conventional farming play a contributory role in the disruption of the plant-microbe and soil-plant interactions. This review discusses the role of organic amendments in the restoration of soil health and plant disease management. While the use of organic amendments in agriculture is not new, there is a lack of knowledge regarding its safe and proper deployment. Hence, a biorational approach of organic amendment use to achieve sustainable agricultural practices entails the deployment of botanicals, microbial pesticides, and organic minerals as organic amendments for attaining plant fitness and disease suppression. Here, the focus is on the rhizosphere microbial communities. The role of organic amendments in stimulating beneficial microbe quorum formation related to the host-plant-pathogen interactions, and its role in facilitating induced systemic resistance and systemic-acquired resistance against diseases was evaluated. Organic amendments serve as soil conditioners, and their mechanism of action needs to be further elaborated to ensure food safety.

[1][2][3] Aer metabolism, most of TC is excreted in prototype into the environment, and it is difficult to degrade since it is nonbiodegradable. 4 TC antibiotic residues have a profound impact on the ecological environment and may eventually have harmful effects on human health and survival.…”
