Biochar amendment is a promising strategy for mitigating antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in soil and plants, but its effects on ARGs at field scale are not fully understood. Here, field trials were executed utilizing two plant varieties, Brassica juncea and Lolium multiflorum, with four types of...
