This review examines how microplastic contamination in rice paddies affects soil health, microbial communities, and crop yields, finding that the particles disrupt nutrient cycling, impair root growth, and reduce grain production. Researchers evaluated a range of remediation strategies including phytoremediation, microbial degradation, algae-based approaches, and genetic engineering techniques. The study highlights the urgent need for integrated solutions to protect food security from growing plastic pollution in agricultural soils.
Fate of nano/microplastics and associated toxic pollutants in paddy ecosystems: Current knowledge and future perspectives
Researchers reviewed how micro- and nanoplastics enter rice paddies through irrigation, mulch films, and atmospheric deposition, then harm soil health and rice plant growth by disrupting nutrient cycles and increasing oxidative stress. Their findings are especially significant because rice feeds more than half the world's population, yet research on plastic contamination in paddy systems remains very limited.
Macroinvertebrados aquáticos em sistemas de cultivo de arroz: Um estudo cienciométrico como síntese do conhecimento
This study reviewed 40+ years of research on tiny water creatures called macroinvertebrates that live in rice fields around the world. These small animals are important because they help keep water ecosystems healthy, but intensive farming methods are harming them. Understanding how rice farming affects these creatures matters because healthy water ecosystems in rice fields can help maintain cleaner water and better food production for humans.
Ecological and physiological risks of micro- and nanoplastics in rice agroecosystems: Challenges and engineering-based mitigation approaches
Researchers reviewed how micro- and nanoplastics harm rice — a staple crop feeding billions — by disrupting root growth, reducing photosynthesis, altering soil microbes, and making heavy metals more available to plants. The review proposes that ecological engineering strategies like microbial bioremediation and organic soil amendments could help protect agricultural land from plastic contamination.

The combined approach revealed the taxonomic composition and functional potential of the bacterial community in the paddy field agroecosystem.
A Review on Soil and Phytomicrobiome for Plant Disease Management
This review examines how soil microbiomes and agricultural practices influence plant disease management, highlighting the role of beneficial microorganisms in suppressing pathogens. Researchers found that conservation tillage, crop rotation, and mulching promote microbial diversity that helps protect crops from soil-borne diseases. The study suggests that integrating microbiome-focused strategies into farming could reduce reliance on chemical pesticides while improving crop health.
Effects of Rice–Frog Co-Cropping on the Soil Microbial Community Structure in Reclaimed Paddy Fields
This study tested whether raising frogs alongside rice in reclaimed farmland could improve soil health. Researchers found that rice-frog co-cropping significantly increased soil nutrients and microbial diversity compared to growing rice alone, suggesting this integrated farming approach could help restore the productivity of reclaimed agricultural land.
The effect of microplastic pollution on rice growth, paddy soil properties, and greenhouse gas emissions: A global meta-analysis
This global meta-analysis of 40 studies found that microplastics reduce rice biomass by inducing oxidative stress and inhibiting photosynthesis, while depleting soil nitrogen, phosphorus, and organic carbon. Microplastics also stimulate nitrous oxide emissions from paddy soils, posing a dual threat to food security and climate through impaired rice production and increased greenhouse gas output.
The effect of white grub (Maladera Verticalis) larvae feeding on rhizosphere microbial characterization of aerobic rice (Oryza sativa L.) in Puer City, Yunnan Province, China
Researchers investigated how white grub larvae feeding on rice roots alters the surrounding soil microbial community in the rhizosphere, finding that the pest disrupts the balance of beneficial microorganisms that support plant health. Understanding these changes could help develop more targeted approaches to protect rice crops from this soil-dwelling pest.
Early inoculation of an endophyte alters the assembly of bacterial communities across rice plant growth stages
Researchers inoculated rice seedlings with a beneficial core endophytic bacterium and tracked how it affected bacterial communities throughout the plant's growth stages. They found the inoculation significantly altered microbial diversity in roots and stems and influenced bacterial community assembly. The study suggests that early introduction of beneficial microbes could be a useful tool for shaping healthier plant-associated microbial communities in agriculture.
