Özet
Reduction of fertility is one of the most important problems of the agricultural lands in today's world. This situation is mostly due to the widespread of conventional agriculture to feed the ever-growing population of the world. As a result, unconscious and excessive utilization of fertilizers to obtain the highest yield from unit area led to unfertile and polluted soils. Fertilization performed without proper evaluation of the nutrient element capacity of the soils can cause the micronutrient elements to reach a toxic level and research showed that together with excess phosphorus fertilizer utilization cadmium heavy metal levels have raised. Another source of pollution is the reduction of organic matter in soils below the sufficiency level due to conventional agriculture applications. Organic matter which affects productivity capacity of soils resulted from inaccurate fertilizer applications to eliminate the deficiencies of micronutrient elements led to toxic levels of some micro nutrient elements. The most economical and easy method to apply to remediate the pollution based on fertilizer utilization in the agricultural lands is phytoextraction. This chapter discusses how to form some pollutants due to fertilizers and solutions to this problem. © 2023 Nova Science Publishers, Inc. All rights reserved.
