Vinasse fertirrigation alters soil resistome dynamics: an analysis based on metagenomic profiles

Abstract Every year around 300 Gl of vinasse, a by-product of ethanol distillation in sugarcane mills, are flushed into more than 9 Mha of sugarcane cropland in Brazil. This practice links fermentation waste management to fertilization for plant biomass production, and it is known as fertirrigation....
