The deterioration of our biosphere and ecosystem due to environmental pollution has gradually taken an alarming turn. It is a real threat to the natural flora and fauna which can no longer be ignored. The levels of pollution of the four major biotic components of environment viz. air, water, land and indirectly sound have exceeded the permissible limits for sustenance of a healthy life and for the development of all life forms of this planet.

In any environmental improvement program, plants are on the centrestage of planning because they play the key role in meeting the total environmental requirements of the living being. Most of the maladies of the deteriorating environment can be remedied by planting trees. Plants are considered not merely the means in meeting the basic needs but exerting a great influence in restoring the environmental ills.

Horticulture crops such as flowering trees, shrubs, herbs, foliage ornamental plants, hedge and edge plants, aquatic plants and even lawn grasses possess great potential in scavenging the pollutants.
