Can Microplastics Interact With Crop Roots?
Plastic in soil does not disappear — it fragments. This article explores how particle size changes biological relevance and why soil microplastics are now an emerging research field.
What the FAO Says About Plastics in Agricultural Soil
The FAO’s global assessment examines soil plastic accumulation, fragmentation into microplastics, and why Europe banned oxo-degradable plastics.

What Happens to Plastic Mulch After Harvest?
Most growers remove plastic mulch after harvest. But what really happens to the fragments left behind? The answer matters for soil health and long-term field performance.
Fragmentation vs Biodegradation
Plastic mulch does not simply “disappear.” It either fragments into persistent microplastics or biodegrades into natural elements. The difference is fundamental.
