Now a days pollution of soils through heavy metals is a serious alarm and it is not only affecting agriculture but is also affecting the environment drastically. They affect directly the physico-chemical and biological characteristics of soils and also reduce the germination, vegetative and reproductive growth of the plants. Heavy metals are non-biodegradable in nature (like Cd, Cr, Pb and Hg etc.) thus, they show long residual effect on soils, thereafter by cultivation practices these toxic metals directly enters in the food chain by consumption and cause deleterious effect on human and animal health. Remediation of such types of contaminated soils are necessary for long time proper cultivation practices. Phytoremediation is a green technology for remediation of heavy metal contaminated soils. It is eco-friendly, less expansive and time saving method of remediation as comparison to other traditional methods. This chapter is mainly focused on the heavy metal pollution, various sources, their impacts on soils, plants, human health, and environment and finally their remediation strategies. The main focus of the current manuscript is the best management practices for remediation of heavy metal pollution and reduce the toxic effect of metallic pollutants in soils and environment.
