Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Cilantro companion planting lowered Ralstonia solanacearum abundance relative to tomato monoculture.
- Intervention effect Basil companion planting lowered Ralstonia solanacearum abundance relative to tomato monoculture.
- Intervention effect Cilantro companion planting enriched Pseudomonas and Aquabacterium.
- Intervention effect Cilantro companion planting depleted Nocardioides and Streptomyces.
- Intervention effect Basil companion planting reduced absolute ARG abundance and subtype count.
- Observation Cilantro soil had the fewest unique ARG subtypes, particularly those resistant to vancomycin, rifamycin, or multiple drugs.
- Association Nocardioides and Streptomyces were identified as potential ARG hosts.
- Association Flavobacterium was negatively correlated with mdtG.
- Recommendation The authors propose companion planting tomato with basil or cilantro as a way to reduce ARG accumulation risk.
