Abstract

Manure treatment with black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) and BSFL frass application in crop land is a sustainable strategy; however, whether residual antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and their transmission risk are related to the manure BSFL treatment process is still unknown. In this paper, the effect of BSFL addition density on residual tetracycline resistance genes (TRGs) and transmission from frass to pakchoi was determined. The results showed that BSFL frass can provide sufficient nutrients for growth, improve the economic value of pakchoi, and reduce the risk of transmission of TRGs in chicken manure regardless of BSFL density. The potential hosts of the TRGs we detected were found in BSFL frass (Oblitimonas and Tissierella), rhizosphere soil (Mortierella and Fermentimonas), and pakchoi endophytes (Roseomonas). The present study concluded that BSFL frass produced by adding 100 BSFL per 100 g of chicken manure has the advantages of high value and low risk. These findings will provide important strategic guidance for animal manure disposal and theoretical support for preventing the transmission of TRGs in BSFL applications.
