Abstract:Intensive use of pesticides applied simultaneously in field to improve the effectiveness of pest control increase the environmental contamination, affecting the soil and water quality.

In this study we selected and characterized different pesticides-tolerant bacteria isolated from a biomixture of a… Show more
