Abstract
Increased urbanization and industrialization exacerbates environment contamination through release of various pollutants into soil and water. These pollutants have deleterious effects on environment and wildlife. They even impacts crop production, ranging from the negative consequences on the soil microbiome, soil health and crop growth process to their long-term impact on microbial diversity and human health due to thereby infiltrating into the food chain. Bioremediation uses natural, eco-friendly products such as plants and microorganisms to remove pollutants from contaminated environments. A convergence of phytoremediation (Vegetable plants based bioremediation) and microbial bioremediation strategies led to a more successful approach. Microbe-plant assisted bioremediation has potential in reclamation and restoration of contaminated soil environments for sustainable farming.
