Straw return and plastic film mulching are two critical management measures that not only maintain high stable crop yields, but also have a significant impact on the ecological environment. However, there is still lack of research comprehensive effects straw different treatments Thus, 2-year field experiment was conducted six treatments, which included main namely (SR) non-straw (NR), three sub-treatments, no (CK), (PM) fully biodegradable (BM), were applied in garlic cropping system. Based life cycle assessment method, endpoint damage categories, resource consumption, global warming potential, environmental acidification, eutrophication, human health, ecotoxicity, assessed. Furthermore, we evaluated costs economic benefits optimized treatment used mulch off-farm. The results indicated impacts damages system ranked as consumption. SR-BM had lowest composite index at 27.68 per unit area, followed by SR-PM 27.75. All categories for PM BM lower than CK t yield, with being most economically efficient, yielding 3691.03 CNY·t−1 exceeding SR-CK 7.26%. Fertilizer inputs primary contributor to accounting about 72.80% these five impacts. Crop protection significantly affected helped minimize pesticide use, thereby reducing potential health Compared incineration waste power generation, generation recycling granulation offered positive more effective offset strategies. In conclusion, synergistic cultivation measure offers both benefits. For mulch, can be reduced granulation.

Plastic mulch films support global food security, however, their composition and the potential release rates of organic, metal metalloid co-contaminants remains relatively unknown. This study evaluates low molecular weight organic additives, content leaching from density polyethylene (LDPE) biodegradable plastic films. We identified 59 non-intentionally added substances in new LDPE (39.8 mg m-2) 60 (129 m-2). The compounds high concern for ecosystem human health (e.g. phthalates, organophosphite antioxidants) was comparable to those (fatty acids, fatty amides, alkanols).

Various plastic materials are used in contact with agricultural soil, like mulching films, crop covers, weed controlling fabrics and nets. Polyethylene (PE) mulches have already been recognized as a significant source of soil they shown to contain additives phthalates, known endocrine disruptors. However, other plastics less studied, little is on the substances potentially released from them endangering biodiversity human health. This research aims assess whether different release into compare among various materials. We collected samples 38 fields where conventional films (PE), (PP), biodegradable based polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT), frost covers oxo-degradable (at least OXO-PE) were used. analyzed soils for phthalates acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC), additives, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) dodecane that high affinity plastics. In comparison control soils, dibutylphthalate (DBP) ATBC concentrations significantly higher mulched PE and, partly, films.

The role of endophytic bacterial communities in aiding the degradation organic pollutants like phthalates (PAEs) soil and planta, as well their effects on pollutant accumulation plants, remains unclear. Herein, microcosm experiments were conducted with rice cultivated agricultural polluted di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) further verified PAE-degrading consortia. Soil indigenous microbes, especially bacteria, significantly contributed to DEHP dissipation diminished rice. Endophytic participated validated by efficient vitro culturable consortia abundant genes. inoculation demonstrated immigration between roots (especially low-PAE-accumulating cultivar), which enhanced planta subsequently reduced PAE accumulation. This study underscores facilitative lowering crops.
