While biodegradable plastic mulch films (BDM) are designed for soil incorporation, their influence on pesticide fate remains poorly understood. We investigated the influence of BDM on the degradation kinetics of four widely used pesticides (boscalid, pyraclostrobin, fluopyram and pyraflufen\u2010ethyl) in two agricultural soils under controlled conditions. Pesticides were applied at agronomically relevant doses either directly to soil or adsorbed onto a commercially available polybutylene adipate terephthalate\u2010starch BDM prior to soil incorporation, and pesticides and their relevant metabolites were monitored for 112 days. Adsorption to BDM significantly slowed pesticide degradation for all compounds, increasing degradation half\u2010lifes (DT50) by factors of 2\u201326 compared with direct soil application. While degradation pathways were not fundamentally altered, the presence of mulch delayed metabolite formation and prolonged pesticide persistence. Rapid degradation of pyraflufen\u2010ethyl led to the accumulation of pyraflufen\u2010ethyl metabolite E\u20103, a highly persistent multi\u2010halogenated metabolite that remains analytically and regulatorily overlooked. BDM itself showed limited mass loss (12%) over the experimental period, suggesting that pesticide\u2010plastic interactions can persist over environmentally relevant timescales. Overall, this study identifies plastic mulch residues as overlooked modifiers of pesticide persistence and metabolite accumulation in soil, suggesting that plastic\u2010pesticide interactions warrant further consideration in environmental exposure and risk assessment frameworks.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/jeq2.70289","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,9]],"date-time":"2026-10-09T03:58:20Z","timestamp":1791518300000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Agricultural plastic mulch increases pesticide persistence in soils"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"55","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1196-3657","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Claire","family":"Coutris","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Environment and Natural Resources Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research (NIBIO)  \u00c5s Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jenny","family":"Klaus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Environment and Natural Resources Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research (NIBIO)  \u00c5s Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marit","family":"Almvik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Biotechnology and Plant Health Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research (NIBIO)  \u00c5s Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.13140\/RG.2.2.19341.10728"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","volume-title":"Standard specification for labeling of plastics designed to be aerobically composted in municipal or industrial facilities","author":"ASTM D6400\u201021","year":"2021"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7717\/peerj.9876"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.scitotenv.2023.165179"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","unstructured":"Boesten J.
