The use of mulching films in agriculture is a common practice aimed at improving crop productivity and managing environmental factors such as temperature, moisture, and weeds. However, the widespread use of non-degradable plastic mulching films has led to significant environmental concerns due to their persistence in the soil, contributing to plastic pollution and affecting soil health. As a result, there has been a growing interest in the development and use of degradable mulching films made from natural materials. These biodegradable films break down over time, reducing the environmental burden associated with traditional plastic mulches.
