Sustainable Plant Nutrition under Contaminated Environments

Global industrial growth has led to increased environmental pollutants and decreased water availability for agricultural activity, forcing farmers to use wastewater irrigation. Soil pollutants have become a critical issue, with farmers selecting disease-resistant, high-yielding crop varieties and applying extensive fertilizers. This book provides insight into environmental pollutants and their interference with plant nutrition, enhancing current knowledge of the effects of pollutants on plant growth and physiology.

The expansion of global industries has led to the introduction of numerous pollutants into the environment, resulting in a decline in water availability for agricultural activities in developing countries. As a result, farmers have been forced to resort to wastewater irrigation, which has further exacerbated the problem. In advanced agricultural systems, farmers are implementing various strategies to enhance crop productivity and sustain yields. However, the issue of soil pollution has become increasingly critical, with the selection of disease-resistant, high-yielding crop varieties and extensive fertilizer applications being common practices among farming communities.

This book aims to provide valuable insights into environmental pollutants, particularly their interference with plant nutrition. It also delves into the physiological aspects of plant nutrition, contributing to a better understanding of the effects of pollutants on plant growth and physiology. By enhancing current knowledge in this field, the book aims to contribute to the development of sustainable agricultural practices that minimize the negative impact of pollutants on the environment and promote healthy plant growth.
