Summary

Researchers compared polyethylene and biodegradable plastic film residues in agricultural soil under field conditions, finding that conventional film residues did not significantly affect rapeseed productivity, while biodegradable films better preserved soil microbial functions and fertility. The study highlights the need for long-term monitoring to guide optimal plastic film use in agriculture.

These findings demonstrate that conventional film residues had no significant effect on rapeseed productivity, whereas biodegradable films exhibited superior performance in maintaining soil fertility and microbial functions under field conditions. Our study emphasizes the need for long-term monitoring to effectively optimize agricultural plastic film applications.
