What are the advantages and disadvantages of using biodegradable agricultural plastic products?

Biodegradable agricultural plastic products offer several advantages, including reduced environmental pollution as they break down naturally, potentially improving soil health by allowing better water and nutrient absorption. They also reduce the need for plastic waste disposal, lowering the carbon footprint associated with traditional plastic production and disposal. However, these products have some disadvantages, such as potentially higher initial costs compared to conventional plastics and the possibility of incomplete degradation, which could still lead to soil contamination. Additionally, the effectiveness of biodegradation can be influenced by environmental factors like temperature and humidity, making it less predictable and sometimes slower than desired.
