Abstract:

This paper briefly introduced the history of degradable agricultural soil films, which could be classified into two categories: biodegradable and disintegrating soil films. The paper also summarized the composition, performance, degradation mechanisms, and agricultural applications of synthetic biodegradable, natural bio?based biodegradable, oxidation?catalytic and photosensitive soil films. Moreover, the existing problems and development direction of degradable soil films in China were discussed. These viewpoints provided a theoretical basis for the application of degradable agricultural soil films in a broader range in future.

Key words: mulching film, biodegradability, disintegration, application
