When Microplastics Meet Agrichemicals

Date : 20th February 2026 | 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

Agricultural soils are increasingly exposed to combinations of emerging and past stressors that have built up over time, such as microplastics and agrochemicals.

This webinar will look at what happens when these stressors interact and their impact on soil microbes and nitrogen cycling, both essential for soil health.

Using the latest MINAGRIS research as a starting point, Dr Stathis Lagos and PhD researcher Eleni Lamprou from the Department of Biochemistry and BiotechnologyUniversity of Thessaly will reflect on what these interactions reveal about soil health and the challenges they pose for current approaches to environmental risk assessment.

This webinar will be critical for anyone involved in microplastics research, soil monitoring and policy, those on the front line of food production and citizens interested in microplastics and soil sustainability.
