In Situ Degradation of Three Contrasting Plastic Mulch Films Under Maize Cultivation in Tropical Conditions

Published: Jan. 1, 2025

The widespread use and release of plastics, including conventional biodegradable mulch films, has become a major environmental concern due to their impact on soil quality ecosystem functioning. Herein, we examined degradation patterns three plastic films (i) low-density polyethylene (LDPE) (PEM), (ii) reflective LDPE (RPEM), (iii) PLA-PBAT (BDM), over two maize growing seasons in Sri Lanka. Mulch were sampled monthly, with changes mass, chemical composition, physical integrity assessed using FTIR-ATR, TGA, GC, GC-MS. FTIR spectra confirmed progressive compositional all BDM showing significant peak changes. Visual observations breakdown showed that > 30% surface coverage provided by was lost while minimal signs breakage. 50% its mass first season RPEM PEM demonstrated only 1% 6% loss, respectively. In conclusion, the study provides evidence rapid mulches compared mulches, likely prevailing tropical climate. Future research should focus improving BDMs analysing effects additives leachates microbes.

Microplastics pose a serious ecological threat to agricultural soils, as they are very persistent in nature. can enter the soil system different ways and present shapes concentrations. However, little is known about how plants react microplastics with concentrations shapes. To this end, we conducted factorial pot experiment wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) which mixed polystyrene (PS) (bead, fiber powder) at of 0, 1, 3 5%. Although all PS significantly reduced morphological growth traits, powder shape was microplastic that plant height (by 58–60%), fresh biomass 54–55%) dry 61–62%) most, especially 3% 5% compared 0% PS. Similar negative effects were also observed for root length weight concentrations, regardless shape. A concentration-dependent reduction leaf area index (LAI) observed. Interestingly, increasing concentration tended up-regulate activity antioxidant enzymes shapes, indicating potential complexity highly time-dependent response related various reactive oxygen species (ROS). Importantly, caused significant chlorophyll pigmentation photosynthetic rate. For transpiration rate, stomatal conductance intercellular CO2 concentration, on increased increase Overall, concluded higher potentially more devastating physiological biochemical attributes wheat, evidenced by pigments gas exchange parameters We recommend further research experiments not only translocation but tissue-specific retention sizes crops fully understand their impact food safety.
