Designer Cropping Systems for Polluted Land explores the processes and techniques of making polluted land safe for planting edible and non-edible crops. The book provides readers and practitioners with a comprehensive understanding of contaminated land use through designer cropping systems. It seeks to present promising and affordable practices for transforming polluted lands while also providing an excellent basis from which scientific knowledge can grow and widen in the fields of phytoremediation-based biofortification.
