Özet
The biological activity of soils is one of the most important parameters in sustainable agriculture and is crucial for the transformation of plant nutrients into extractable forms. Bacteria are the most important group of microorganisms that contribute to the vitality of agricultural soils. Bacteria, the largest group of microorganisms at neutral pH, increase the solubility and extractability of plant nutrients. They also help to improve the physical and chemical properties of the soil and create an environment suitable for biological production. However, due to some agricultural systems, the biological properties of the soil decrease over time. Bio-fertilizers step into the field to eliminate this problem. Biofertilizers are environmentally friendly organic agricultural inputs. Enrichment of agricultural soils with nitrogen results in enrichment of soils with phosphorus due to increased solubility of phosphate compounds and also stimulates the secretion of some chemicals that promote plant development. Biofertilizers also reduce the use of chemical fertilizers and protect against pathogenic fungi. Rhizobium, Azosipirillum, Azotobacter, Bacillus, Pseudomonas are among the most important groups of organisms. Nevertheless, bioremediation becomes prominent in the natural alleviation of micro-nutrient toxicity and especially heavy metal pollution resulting from industry, traffic, fertilizers, pesticides, municipal wastes, etc. This chapter focuses on the relationship of biological characteristics of agricultural lands with the environment and solutions. © 2023 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
