by M. Naeem (Editor), Abid Ali Ansari (Editor), Sarvajeet Singh Gill (Editor)
This comprehensive volume covers recent studies into agricultural
problems caused by soil and water contamination. Considering the
importance of agricultural crops to human health, the editors have
focused on chapters detailing the negative impact of heavy metals,
excessive chemical fertilizer use, nutrients, pesticides, herbicides,
insecticides, agricultural wastes and toxic pollutants, among others, on
agricultural soil and crops. In addition, the chapters offer solutions
to these negative impacts through various scientific approaches,
including using biotechnology, nanotechnology, nutrient management
strategies, biofertilizers, as well as potent PGRs and elicitors. This
book serves as a key source of information on scientific and engineered
approaches and challenges for the bioremediation of agricultural
contamination worldwide.
This book should be helpful for
research students, teachers, agriculturalists, agronomists, botanists,
and plant growers, as well as in the fields of agriculture, agronomy,
plant science, plant biology, and biotechnology, among others. It serves
as an excellent reference on the current research and future directions
of contaminants in agriculture from laboratory research to field
application.
