However, a number of obstacles, including concerns about performance and cost, have inhibited their implementation. In this study, we set out to determine the impact of biodegradable film mulches on plant production, crop yield, sustainability, nutrient supply, environment, cost-effectiveness, pros and cons with innovative approach. The material and method used in this study include the application of a literature review on biodegradable mulch (BDM) film. According to our findings, the biodegradable film mulch greatly outperformed the plastic mulch in terms of soil health, water use, nutrient availability, and microbial activity. These results imply that biodegradable film mulch has the potential to decrease plastic waste in agriculture while increasing soil health and crop output. In conclusion, using biodegradable film mulch with using innovative approach in agriculture might be an effective means to alleviate the environmental problems brought on by conventional plastic mulches. © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessConference Object8510.1051/bioconf/202485010602-s2.0-85183672633N/A
