This volume 'Agrochemicals in Soil and Environment: Impacts and
Remediation' is a comprehensive collection of important literature
on agrochemical contamination. The main focus of this book is to
point out undesirable changes in biological, physical and chemical
characteristics of agricultural soils and its impacts on global
agricultural crop productivity. Soil is one of the important
resources of basic needs for our sustenance but due to various
anthropogenic activities like urbanization and industrialization,
the soil is losing its basic quality characteristics. Soil
microorganisms, water holding capacity, minerals, salts and
nutrients are under the direct threat due to agrochemicals
therefore, agricultural sector is facing a serious challenge. Lack
of proper knowledge and luxurious applications of agrochemicals
resulting into degradation and deterioration of soil quality, loss
of soil and crop productivity and threatening the food security.
Therefore, it is imperative to develop indices, indicators and soil
parameters for the monitoring and impact assessment of agricultural
contaminants. Further, biotic and abiotic stresses and their
tolerance mechanisms in plants in relation to the soil contaminants
such as toxic pollutants, heavy metals, inorganic and organic
matters, variety of pesticides, insecticides, herbicides,
agricultural runoffs and solid wastes, and chemical fertilizers are
also highlighted in this volume. This book also discusses causes of
reduced agriculture productivity and suggests sustainable measures
such as plant-based technologies, bioremediation and
nanotechnology, that can be used to overcome the crop losses. The
book is interest to research students, teachers, agricultural
scientists, agronomists, environmentalists as well as policy
makers.
