Environmental problems, such as global warming and plastic pollution have forced
researchers to investigate alternatives for conventional plastics. Poly (lactic acid)(PLA), one …

Biodegradable plastics attract public attention as promising substitute for non-degradable
plastics that trigger serious plastic pollution, and they are claimed to be environmentally …

Environmental contamination by microplastics is now considered an emerging threat to
biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Soil ecosystems, particularly agricultural land, have …

This paper explores different interactions and processes involved in the transport of
microplastics from agricultural systems to surrounding environments. We conducted an …

The increasing use of plastic films for agricultural mulching continues worldwide. Mulching
improves crop yield, decreases pesticide'inputs to the field, saves irrigation water and …

Agricultural plastic films have been proven highly advantageous, but they also cause
pollution of plastic debris and associated chemicals. Phthalates (phthalic acid esters, PAEs) …

The global use of agricultural plastic films, which provide multiple benefits for food
production, is expected to grow by 59% from 2018 to 2026. Disposal options for agricultural …

Biodegradable (Bio) plastic films are widely viewed as promising alternative products of low-
density polyethylene (LDPE) films to minimize plastic debris accumulation and pollution in …

It is crucial to elucidate the release rate of microplastics (MPs) and phthalic acid esters
(PAEs) in agricultural soil and their effects on crop productivity regarding film types and …

Many ways are being developed in the realm of agriculture to increase crop yield while
inflicting minimal damage to the soil and environment. One among them is the application of …
