BIO-SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES FOR IMPROVING SOIL HEALTH INDEX

Abstract

As the anthropogenic activities are increasing day by day, the environmental pollution has also been rising. The continuous 
disposal and improper treatment of domestic, industrial, and agricultural wastes is highly toxic and has emerged as a 
serious pollution threat which is jeopardizing the environment & human health. Soil contamination is referred to as the 
accumulation in the soil of persistent harmful substances, chemical compounds, radioactive wastes, salts, or pathogens that 
have a negative impact on biological systems. Bioremediation is a waste management technique that includes the use of 
living organisms to eradicate or neutralize pollutants from a contaminated site. Other processes use plants, earthworms and 
biochar to attenuate the toxicity of contaminants.
