Abstract The widespread increase of microplastics in agricultural environments threatens three fundamental aspects of sustainability including environmental stability together with soil health and safe nutrition. The review examines plant-soil microplastic interactions by delivering an extensive examination of microplastics (MPs) and Nano plastics (NPs) source types and environmental transformation in terrestrial systems. Multiple entry routes for these particles exist through airborne deposition and through applications of sludge and compost as well as poor irrigation management and degradation of plastic-based agricultural inputs. The research assesses human health dangers from consuming polluted vegetables but also examines the destructive effects on plant health together with the negative changes in soil microbial diversity and nutrient cycles. Bioremediation activities together with biodegradable product processing and regulation control are specifically evaluated regarding their effectiveness as mitigation measures in the study. The research promotes combined intervention methods from multiple fields as the solution to control microplastic effects which prioritize agricultural sustainability using results from different studies.
Keywords Nanoplastics, Terrestrial ecosystem, Soil microbial diversity, Nutrient cycle, Bioremediation, Biodegradable materials.
