Effects of Soil Plastic Contamination on the Early Growth of Pea Plant (Pisum sativum)

Summary

Scientists found that plastic contamination in soil can harm pea plants early in their growth, potentially affecting how well crops develop. This matters because plastic waste is building up in farmland soil, not just oceans, and if it hurts the food crops we grow, tiny plastic particles could end up in our food supply and affect crop yields we depend on.
