Magnificent Bio-Management of Pesticides in Agriculture Soil
Journal Title: International Journal of Life Science and Agriculture Research - Year 2024, Vol 3, Issue 09
Abstract
Following World War II, the agrochemical industry burgeoned, introducing diverse chemical agents like pesticides and herbicides to enhance crop production. These compounds, including herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides, are toxic and persist in the environment, causing soil, water, and air pollution and disrupting ecological balance. Farmers, heavily reliant on soil, initially use these chemicals to boost productivity, but over time, they become detrimental, accumulating in organisms and harming trophic levels. Addressing this challenge involves improving soil quality and eco-friendliness for maximum crop production. Indigenous microbial consortia, comprising bacteria and fungi, offer a cost-effective and eco-friendly solution by metabolizing and bio-remediating toxic compounds. This review focuses on their role in removing commercial xenobiotic pesticides that harm soil.
