Better Management Practices: Use Microorganisms to Break Down Waste and Excess Nutrients

With organic matter present, microbial biodiversity can begin to decontaminate pollutants in the soil.

It may be possible to undertake limited bioremediation using effective microorganisms in freshwater systems, but care should be taken before releasing alien microorganisms in such environments.

They do, however, have the ability to convert nitrates into other forms of nitrogen that could become useful nutrients for other organisms. Pesticides can also be acted upon by microorganisms to change their toxicities or do detoxify them entirely.

Sulphur and iron radicals can be converted by these organisms to become useful substances for other life forms.
