Bioremediation: An Eco-friendly Approach for Polluted Agricultural Soil
Keywords:
agriculture, organic, soilAbstract
A wide variety of synthetic organic compounds are used in agricultural practices. These compounds are used mainly to control pests and increase crop productivity. However, after utilization these agricultural compounds enter into the soil, water, air and plant tissues.
