Recent data suggest that agriculture is one of the main anthropogenic activities contributing to the input of microplastics in soils. The use of plastic mulch to increase crop yield and the application of sewage sludge as a soil amendment are the main sources for microplastic contamination in soil.
Many important benefits are achieved by the use of agrochemicals. These are largely associated with increased yields of plant and animal crops, and less spoilage during storage. These benefits are substantial.
