Plastic products in plant production and protection help farmers increase crop production, enhance food quality, reduce global water use their environmental footprint. Simultaneously, plastic has emerged as a critical ecological issue recent years, its pollution significantly impacted soil, water, plants. Thus, this review examines the multifaceted problems of agriculture risk to security, ecosystem, environment. The study’s objective was present most information on using different agriculture, sources pollution, advantages drawbacks products, strategies for mitigating agriculture. Furthermore, after examining current applications, benefits, adverse effects, risks plants, environment, we addressed requirements technological advancements, regulations, social processes that could contribute our ecosystems. We identified pathways toward more sustainable plastics discussed future research directions.

Although pervasive microplastics (MPs) pollution in terrestrial ecosystems invites increasing concern, impact of MPs on soil microbial community assembly, and ecosystem functions multifunctionality received relatively little attention. Here, we manipulated a mesocosm experiment to investigate how polyethylene (PE MPs; 0, 1%, 5%, w/w) influence plant production, quality, diversity enzymology carbon (C), nitrogen (N) phosphorus (P) cycling, maize–soil continuum. Results showed that PE exerted negligible effect biomass (dry weight). The 5% caused declines the availability water, C P, whereas enhanced pH storage. activity C-cycling enzymes (α/β-1, 4-glucosidase, β-D-cellobiohydrolase) was promoted by 1% MPs, while β-1, 4-glucosidase inhibited MPs. reduced N-cycling (protease urease), increased P-cycling enzyme (alkaline phosphatase). shifted composition, number specialist species, stability networks resistance. altered with concentration decreasing dispersal limitation proportion (from 13.66 9.96%). Overall, improved concentration, α/β-1, urease, protease, ammonium-N content were most important predictors multifunctionality. These results underscore can alter assembly multifunctionality, thus development implement scalable solutions controlling become increasingly imperative sustainable agricultural production.

Microplastics (MPs) are regarded as potential persistent organic pollutants owing to their small size and low degradability. However, the effect of MP pollution on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from farmland soil is yet unclear. Therefore, a series microcosm experiments were set up using polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (PS), polyester (PET) at concentrations 0.25 %, 2 7 % (w/w). Each treatment had three replicates. This experiment was carried out verify soil. The results showed that addition MPs significantly promoted main GHGs, including nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4). Especially, PE may cause most GHG which would contribute climate warming when its concentration increased. In addition, different doses types could affect microbial community structure. These findings this present study provide scientific practical reference for prevention control risk assessment global change caused by MPs.

Microplastics (MPs), miniscule plastic particles measuring less than 5 mm in size, have become a concern terrestrial ecosystems, with primarily agricultural and wetland soils being the highest loadings. The adverse effect of MPs might lead to changes physicochemical biological characteristics soil including properties, microbial communities, plants, as well potential or affirmed correlations among them. Therefore, understanding risks effects MPs, particularly within soil-plant-microbe context is challenging subject substantial scientific inquiry. This comprehensive review focused on rhizosphere plant-microbe symbiotic relationships, implications for plant growth ecosystem-level nutrient fluxes. alter community composition, enzymatic activities rhizosphere, influencing availability uptake by plants. These can disrupt interactions, such mycorrhizal associations nitrogen-fixing symbioses, ultimately impacting cycling nutrients ecosystems.
