Sammanfattning

Bioremediation of agricultural soils is increasingly gaining attention due to heavy metal pollution, which affects soil and water quality. Soil and water pollution usually arise from human anthropogenic activities. The presence of heavy metals in plant residues and intrusion into the food chain can threaten human welfare, as well as the ecosystem. To this premise, ameliorating the effects of soil and water pollution became important to ensure a viable, zero-waste, and sustainable ecosystem. Emphases on nano-bioinoculants remain fundamental approaches in the reclamation of soil and water polluted by heavy metals due to their reliability, efficiency, economics, eco-friendliness, and sustainability. Nanotechnology is an innovative technique employed in bioremediation through the use of nanoparticle-synthesized microorganisms. The emergence of nano-bioinoculants in green biotechnology is promising for efficient delivery mechanisms in the heavy metals removal from polluted sites and solution gateway to address the challenges of sustainable agriculture and food security. Thus, harnessing and application of ecofriendly nanomaterials from microorganisms as nano-bioinoculants can help minimize pollution arising from industrial and agricultural expenditures. Therefore, understanding the concept of nano-biostimulants in the bioremediation of heavy metals, effects, control of soil and underground water pollution, mechanisms of bioremediation, and nano-bioremediation for sustainable agriculture form the key points in the chapter on this book.
