Abstract
Agricultural soil contamination refers to the buildup of heavy metals and associated chemicals in the soil, which can come from both natural and man-made causes. Phytoextraction appears promising for treating heavy metal-contaminated soils in situ. Food quality, food security, and environmental health are all at risk as a result of this. Traditional physico-chemical treatments for soil rehabilitation, such as soil washing, render the ground unfit for plant growth by removing all biological activities. As a result, phytoextraction and other sustainable and less expensive in situ cleanup strategies were examined. An increase in plant growth and metal uptake will improve the overall efficacy of phytoremediation procedures. This article highlights the diversity and ecology of metal-resistant bacteria, as well as their potential role in heavy metal phytoremediation. Therefore, this chapter focuses on phytoextraction methods enhanced by beneficial microbes.
