biodegradable-materials
Biodegradable materials are substances derived from natural or biological sources that can be broken down by microorganisms into harmless compounds over time. In plant science, these materials are increasingly important for developing sustainable agricultural inputs—such as biodegradable mulches, seed coatings, and slow-release fertilizer carriers—that reduce plastic pollution and soil contamination. Research into plant-derived biopolymers like cellulose, starch, and lignin also drives innovation in creating eco-friendly packaging and biomaterials from crop residues.
