“…Various fungus like Fusarium , Verticillium , Penicillium , and Aspergillus have been used as potential candidates for the metallic nanoparticles synthesis ( Ovais et al, 2018 ). Studies have reported that metals like gold, silver, titanium, platinum, selenium, palladium and silica can be utilized for the fabrication of nanoparticles ( Gholami-Shabani et al, 2016 ). Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized from F. oxysporum are different in features from those synthesized with Aspergillus fumigates ( Alves and Murray, 2022 ).…”

In the present scenario, the uncontrolled and irrational use of pesticides is affecting the environment, agriculture and livelihood worldwide. The excessive application of pesticides for better production of crops and to maintain sufficient food production is leading to cause many serious environmental issues such as soil pollution, water pollution and also affecting the food chain. The efficient management of pesticide use and remediation of pesticide-contaminated soil is one of the most significant challenges to overcome. The efficiency of the current methods of biodegradation of pesticides using different microbes and enzymes depends on the various physical and chemical conditions of the soil and they have certain limitations. Hence, a novel strategy is the need of the hour to safeguard the ecosystem from the serious environmental hazard. In recent years, the application of nanomaterials has drawn attention in many areas due to their unique properties of small size and increased surface area. Nanotechnology is considered to be a promising and effective technology in various bioremediation processes and provides many significant benefits for improving the environmental technologies using nanomaterials with efficient performance. The present article focuses on and discusses the role, application and importance of nano-bioremediation of pesticides and toxic pollutants to explore the potential of nanomaterials in the bioremediation of hazardous compounds from the environment.
