**5. Conclusion**

Heavy metals are detrimental to health issues even at very low concentrations due to their long-term persistence, hence they must be removed from environments to maintain the balance of the ecosystem and human health. As a bioremediation approach, removing heavy metals from the soils by using organic amendments was discussed. Organic amendments are very effective in mitigating the effects of heavy metals from the soil. Hence, the chapter concluded that the application of organic manures like FYM, Vermicomposting, biochar, poultry manure reduced the heavy metal toxicity. Large quantities of organic amendments are used as a source of nutrients and also as a conditioner to improve the soil physical properties and fertility of soils. These organic amendments can be used as a sink for reducing the bioavailability of heavy metals in contaminated soils through their effect on the adsorption, complexation, reduction, and volatilization of metals.
