How do farmers use biodegradable agricultural plastic products?

Farmers use biodegradable agricultural plastic products to enhance crop growth and reduce environmental impact. These products, such as mulch films and row covers, help retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and maintain a consistent temperature for plant growth. They also protect crops from pests and diseases. After use, these plastics break down naturally over time, reducing the accumulation of plastic waste in the soil and mitigating the negative environmental impacts associated with traditional non-biodegradable plastics. This sustainable approach supports organic farming and contributes to a circular economy by minimizing waste and promoting soil health.
