Harnessing fungi and bacteria to speed up the biodegradation of plastic mulch films

Science of The Total Environment
Plastics and microplastics are pervasive in agricultural systems, underscoring the need for effective mitigation strategies. Here, we explored microbial treatments to accelerate the degradation of plastic mulch films composed of commercial (LDPE-m) and additive-free (LDPE-p) low-density polyethylene and a blend containing polybutylene adipate-co ...
