The worldwide awareness of the deleterious effects of heavy metal pollution has resulted in intensive
research aiming at understanding metal interactions in soil and their removal in an efficient way.
Although, the knowledge and practice of the conventional physio-chemical remedial technologies for
degraded soils are age-old, they are not in demonstration these days due to their detrimental impact on
various ecosystems. On the other hand, phytoremediation has received much attention as a biological
and natural way of treating the polluted lands. In addition, augmentation of essential rhizobacteria to
reduce phytotoxicity and remediating metal polluted soils has also gained interest. This paper
investigates the plant-microbial interactions in reclaiming the metal contaminated soil with attention to
some significant soil biochemical characteristics during the process.
