Impact of biodegradable polymers on agricultural soil health
Author(s): Md. Anwarul Islam and Dr. Mohd. Amirul Islam
Abstract: In the last few decades, an interest has drawn in the use of biodegradable polymer materials in agriculture, medicine, packaging and other areas. For this reason, many researchers engaging their time and effort to synthesize novel polymer materials which are biodegradable and commercially viable as well as which will reduce the need for synthetic non-degradable polymers, thereby enhancing a positive effect both environmentally and economically. The development of biodegradable polymers has extensively contributed to soil health as well as industries related to agriculture by boosting up the effectiveness of fertilizers as well as the effectiveness of herbicides and pesticides by helping the controlled system which results in the use of lower doses. This review elucidates the opportunities along with the contribution to the sustainable agricultural practices with commercially viable by the applications of novel biodegradable polymers.
