ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) have become a significant environmental concern, but data on their presence in potato gardens are limited. This study aims to identify and quantify MPs soil, organic fertilizer, irrigation water, plants gardens. Soil, samples were collected from fields. Analysis was carried out using microscope Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) the shape, color, quantity, type of MP polymer. The results indicate contamination with most dominant shape fibers (86%) fragments (8%), color black (35%) blue (27%), abundances 0.10–9.20 g −1 , as well polyethylene terephthalate (PET) high‐density (HDPE) polymers. These potential harm plant growth soil quality. found quantities disrupt agricultural ecosystems. can affect quality products human health throughout food chain.
