“…The addition of these residues and by-products to agricultural soil could be used as substitutes for chemical fumigants and fertilizers. By using agrowaste as soil amendment has a positive impact on the organic matter content and fertility of soil, thereby improving health ( De Corato et al., 2024 ) and suppressiveness of the soil against various stress factors, including those caused by soil-borne plant pathogens ( De Corato, 2023 ).This benefit could be utilized by farmers to decrease the necessity of adding chemical fertilizers to the soil, promoting the use of organic residues as fertilizers. Research conducted by Shennan et al.…”

The study explores anaerobic soil disinfection as an alternative to soil fumigants for controlling Verticillium wilt in strawberry crops. For this purpose, two agrowastes close to the strawberry-growing areas of Huelva province were tested as potential amendments for the control of Verticillium wilt: rice bran and residual strawberry extrudate. Furthermore, two application rates were evaluated: 13.50 and 20.00 t/ha for the rice bran and 16.89 and 25.02 t/ha for residual strawberry extrudate. Amended and anaerobically disinfested soils were compared with a non-amended soil under anaerobic conditions, a soil treated with the chemical fungicide metam sodium and an untreated soil. One week before the start of disinfection treatment, these soils were artificially inoculated with 250 microsclerotia/g dry soil of Verticillium dahliae. After disinfestation treatments, pathogens were quantified, and strawberry plants were cropped in a growth chamber to further evaluate Verticillium wilt severity, which was measured with a symptom scale in the same potting soils. Measurements of the anaerobic condition, pH and microbial population densities were performed, and the results showed significant differences between the different amendments. In addition, the treatment with rice bran at 20 t/ha recorded the lowest population density of V. dahliae. Likewise, it was possible to achieve a reduction in foliar disease severity in all amended treatments in similar percentage to those obtained by chemical treatment. These results suggest potential application of this technique for the control of Verticillium wilt in the strawberry-growing area of Huelva, reducing the use of chemical fumigants.

As plastics become more ubiquitous, their impact on the environment and on human health cannot be overlooked. Once generated, micro‐ and nano‐plastics end‐up in the environment, causing widespread health and environmental risks. This is a significant environmental problem given the minuscule sizes of microplastics, and therefore warrants further investigation. This study presents a comprehensive review of the ecotoxicology of microplastics and methods for their degradation and decomposition besides discussing the fate and transport processes, recent progress, emerging strategies, challenges and potential future directions. The authors carefully evaluate the processes through which microplastics cause harm, from molecular interactions in species, to ecological impacts, and end with advances in microplastic biodegradation. Different kinds of microplastics found in the environment include polyethylene, polystyrene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polycarbonate, polyurethane, polypropylene, and polyethylene terephthalate. Analysis of microbial and enzymatic decomposition provides several swelling mitigation strategies designed to reduce environmental threats. In‐depth investigations of microplastic ecotoxicity and biodegradation are being facilitated by interdisciplinary proposals in the areas of nanotechnology, new analytical methods, and synthetic biology. The extensive study helps understand microplastics comprehensively which in‐turn ensures informed actions to mitigate the challenge of the environmental impact of microplastics for sustainable future.
