Synergism Between Microbes and Plants for Soil Contaminants Mitigation
Abstract
Soil mitigation is an approach to reduce the soil degradation occurring in all aspects. Soil contamination mainly happens due to release of varieties of inorganic and organic constituents into soil. Presence of highly poisonous contaminants into soil in high concentrations is enough to cause a threat to ecosystem and on human health. Sustainable approaches can be designed by the direct and indirect utilization of microbes and plants to reduce the soil pollution load. The utilization of microbes with plants in “synergy” is considered as one of the most fruitful approaches for the removal of soil pollutants. It is well known that plant host a variety of microbes in their roots, rizosphere, and shoot by giving them essential environment to flourish and colonize. Similarly, microbes benefit by making available certain soil nutrients to plants and also help in maintaining the overall health of soil. This chapter will emphasize the problems related to soil degradation by metals, pesticides, and hydrocarbons, and their remediation by the utilization of plant-microbial synergism system.
