Microplastics and Nanoplastics in Agroecosystems: Strategies to Mitigate Plastic Pollution for Sustainable Agriculture
AI summary Read the abstract
This paper reviews existing research on plastic films used in farming, which break down into microplastics and nanoplastics in agricultural soil. It summarizes strategies being studied to reduce this plastic pollution while maintaining farming practices.
The extensive application of plastic films in agriculture has served as a cornerstone of modern agronomy, significantly enhancing crop yields, moisture conservation, and water use efficiency [...]
