Integrated Management of Polluted Soils for Enhancing Productivity and Quality of Crops

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Soil quality is severely affected due to contamination with salts, toxic metals, non-metals and organic pollutants generated from mainly urban and industrial activities and therefore needs to be managed appropriately for sustaining agricultural productivity. Deterioration in soil quality in the polluted agricultural land can be ascertained through measurement of different physical, chemical and biological indicators. While salts affect crop productivity by degrading rhizosphere environment, heavy metals express toxicity on plant growth and on activities of agriculturally important microflora and fauna and also contaminate food. Although adverse effect of organic pollutants in soil on plant growth and produce quality has not been found significant, these are reported to affect soil microbe activity and therefore are required to be decontaminated. The role of different agricultural operations on countering the adverse effects of soil pollution has been discussed, and different soil and crop management, tillage, nutrient management, water management and soil conservation measures have been suggested for improving productivity of crops, quality of food and environment.
