“…As Table 1 shows, around 80% of current research on remediation of pesticide-polluted soils is related to biodegradation through microbes. Specific bacteria and/or fungi were isolated from the contaminated soils and then used for the degradation of pesticides in greenhouse studies [13,32,56,75]. Advanced biodegradation with biochar or bioaugmentation was used for increasing the efficiency of biodegradation [18,30,101].…”

An increasing number of pesticides have been used in agriculture for protecting the crops from pests, weeds, and diseases but as much as 80 to 90% of applied pesticides hit non-target vegetation and stay as pesticide residue in the environment which is potentially a grave risk to the agricultural ecosystem. This review gives an overview of the pollution in agricultural soils by pesticides, and the remediation techniques for pesticide-contaminated soils. Currently, the remediation techniques involve physical, chemical, and biological remediation as well as combined ways for the removal of contaminants. The microbial functions in rhizosphere including gene analysis tools are fields in remediation of pesticide-contaminated soil which has generated a lot of interest lately. However, most of those studies were done in greenhouses; more research work should be done in the field conditions for proper evaluation of the efficiency of the proposed techniques. Long-term monitoring and evaluation of in situ remediation techniques should also be done in order to assess their long-term sustainability and practical applications in the field.

Pesticides are employed to control and manage pest populations at tolerable levels. Pesticides are classified especially according to their chemical structure, toxicity, environmental persistence and target organisms. The massive use of these pollutants in addition to their toxic potential seriously threatens ecosystems and humans. For this reason, the development of green bioremediation processes is necessary. The ability of several microorganisms to bioremediate pesticides is mainly based on their biodegradation activity. Though bacteria have been proved to be efficient biodegraders and bioremediators, some fungi and archae could biodegrade recalcitrant pesticides too. The bioremediation of pesticide-contaminated agricultural sites may be optimized by considering the prevalent environmental conditions, the microorganisms that solubilize and degrade the pesticides most effectively, the variables that affect the biodegradation rate and the chemical structure of pesticides. This chapter explores the importance of pesticides as persistent organic pollutants in agricultural soils, particularly in the plants rhizospheric area and further illustrates the recent advances in pesticide microbial bioremediation, with emphasis on the metabolic potential of pseudomonads as a representative model of pesticide-degrading microorganisms.
