Can farmers use agricultural plastics to improve soil quality and fertility?

Yes, farmers can use agricultural plastics to improve soil quality and fertility. Plastic mulches can help retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature, which can lead to increased crop yields. They can also reduce soil erosion and improve soil structure by protecting the soil from direct impact of raindrops. However, it's important to manage the use of plastics responsibly to avoid environmental issues such as plastic pollution and to ensure that the benefits to soil health are sustainable in the long term.
