Fate of Biodegradable and Conventional Mulch Films in Agricultural Soils: Aging-Induced Microplastic Formation, Azoxystrobin Sorption–Desorption Dynamics, and Penicillium expansum Growth on Films
Agricultural mulch films are utilized to optimize crop yields. However, their extensive use is linked to environmental drawbacks, including microplastics (MPs) formation due to aging and pesticide adsorption. This study integrated three connected aspects of mulch aging: (i) MPs’ formation from biodegradable (PBAT/PLA,...
