Distinct interferences of conventional and biodegradable microplastics on adsorption of pesticide mixture in agricultural soils

Gaowei Tan, Darrell W.S. Tang, Osman Rima, Shijie Qin et autres

The presence of microplastics (MPs) strongly influences the environmental behaviour of pesticides, creating unignorable risks to soil and surrounding compartments. This study focused on the adsorption of a pesticide mixture (chlorpyrifos (CPF), pendimethalin (PDM), and pyraclostrobin (PCS)) in soils (sandy soil, loamy …

Harnessing fungi and bacteria to speed up the biodegradation of plastic mulch films

Davi R. Munhoz, Ke Meng, Luis F. Merloti, Violette Geissen et autres

Plastics and microplastics are pervasive in agricultural systems, underscoring the need for effective mitigation strategies. Here, we explored microbial treatments to accelerate the degradation of plastic mulch films composed of commercial (LDPE-m) and additive-free (LDPE-p) low-density polyethylene and a blend containing polybutylene …

Pesticide and metabolite residue mixtures in subtropical agroecosystem soils: The inconvenient truth

Shailendra Singh Shah, Vera Silva, Jos Cornelis Van Dam, Awtar Singh et autres

The presence and accumulation of multiple pesticide residues in soil threaten biodiversity and soil health, yet depth-resolved evidence on pesticide-metabolite mixtures in subtropical agroecosystems remains underexplored. Here, we present the most comprehensive paired-depth assessment of parent pesticides and metabolites in Indian soils …

Hidden below the surface: Depth- and season-resolved pesticide mixtures in agricultural soils

Shailendra Singh Shah, Jos Cornelis Van Dam, Vera Silva, Awtar Singh et autres

Soil degradation and contamination pose significant risks to environmental quality, food security, and human health, particularly in intensively managed agricultural systems. Agricultural soils act both as sinks and secondary sources of chemical contaminants, regulating their mobility, persistence, and transfer to other environmental …

Pesticide residues as contaminants in agricultural soils

Vera Silva, Judith Riedo, Diana Vieira, Pia Kotschik et autres

In this chapter, the authors focus on soil-pesticide monitoring data, emphasizing key findings and challenges such as legacy contamination and the interpretation of results. The chapter discusses the dual role of soils, as both a sink and source of pesticide residues, underlining …

Contrasting residual effects of different biochar types on maize nitrogen uptake, biomass accumulation, water and nitrogen use efficiency under alternate partial root-zone drying irrigation

Heng Wan, Mei Hong, Liang Fang, Yazen Al‐Salman et autres

Abstract Although the immediate benefits of biochar in enhancing nitrogen cycling and crop productivity are well documented, its residual effects across different biochar types and irrigation regimes over successive growing seasons have not been fully elucidated. Here, we assessed the residual effects …

Assessment of microplastic transport and distribution in the urban environment of Coimbra municipality

Inês Leitão, Loes van Schaik, António Ferreira, Violette Geissen

Microplastics (MPs) largely originate from terrestrial environments, especially urban areas, where controlling their spread is difficult. This is concerning due to MPs’ impacts on ecosystems and human health. To develop mitigation strategies, understanding how MPs move and spread is essential. This study …

Occurrence of pesticide residues in harvested products of various crops from European conventional and organic farming systems

Paula S. Tourinho, Zuzana Hochmanová, Petr Kukučka, Martina Hronová et autres

The occurrence of 192 pesticide residues was analysed in harvested products from conventional (CF) and organic farms (OF) across European countries, focusing on vineyards, orchards, vegetables, oilseeds, and cereals. Pesticide residues were detected in 85.7 % of CF samples, with 71.4 % …
