“…Regarding microbial communities, soil microorganisms play key roles in significant ecological processes such as bioremediation, recycling of elements, soil structure establishment, and degradation of organic matter and chemical xenobiotics (Umar et al, 2017;Walvekar et al, 2017). Among them, pesticides are the most common contaminants in the agricultural field (Wołejko et al, 2020), and their persistence in the soil can alter the physico-chemical structure and microbiota composition causing a negative impact on soil biodiversity (Diez et al, 2017). Indeed, the extensive use of pesticides has gradually led to soil contamination with proven damages to environmental health (Fernandes et al, 2020;Kafaei et al, 2020).…”

“…A necessary condition for establishing the level of pollution of the soil cover is the regulation of the pollutant content in the soil [26]. As an indicator of finding the maximum amount of pollutant that does not cause negative consequences, the MPC (maximum permissible concentration) of a harmful substance in the soil acts [27].…”

The role of pesticides in modern agriculture is not in doubt; the continuous improvement of drugs and technologies for their use reduces the possibility of environmental pollution and their accumulation in manufactured products. The purpose of the research is to assess the pollution of the soil cover of agricultural land with residual amounts of pesticides in the Samara region conditions. Tasks: to analyze the content of insectoacaricides and herbicides residual amounts in the soil in the spring and autumn; - establish patterns of residual pesticides migration along the soil profile. As a result of studies conducted in 2016-2018. it was found that the content of total DDT related to the first hazard class in the studied samples decreases, a similar situation is observed for organochlorine insectoacaricides HCH and HCB, their residual amounts were found in the soil in the autumn and spring periods of 2016. Residual quantities of the organophosphorus insect metacosacaricide were detected annually (the exception was the autumn period of 2017). Regarding the content of residual amounts of herbicides in the soil (2, 4-D, dalapon, simazine, atrazine, promethrin, trifluralin, THAN), it can be noted that during the years of research their content was mainly reduced. A study of the pesticides vertical migration showed that the content of their residual amounts in the soil increases with depth, reaching a maximum at a depth of 1.0-1.6 m.

“…Degradation can occur through multiple processes: degradation by microorganisms, hydrolysis, photolysis, sorption and binding to organic and soil components, plant uptake, and volatilization (Srivastava et al, 2020). If microorganisms are able to survive in the environment contaminated by the molecule, they can then metabolize and degrade the pesticides (Wołejko et al, 2020). Therefore, microorganisms can play a significant role in plant tolerance to herbicides (Tétard-Jones and Edwards, 2016).…”

“…All these mechanisms can influence the microbiota. Regarding the effects of a pesticide application, as reviewed by Wołejko et al (2020), the effects of fungicide, insecticide, or herbicide on microbial communities varies greatly according to the molecule used and the microbial group studied. Although most studies agree on the lack of impacts on α-diversity in the rhizosphere (Lupwayi et al, 2004(Lupwayi et al, , 2009Nettles et al, 2016), the effects on microbiome functionality (Fournier et al, 2020), or structure (Nettles et al, 2016) have been reported with shifts in relative abundance and community composition.…”

Plants have always grown and evolved surrounded by numerous microorganisms that inhabit their environment, later termed microbiota. To enhance food production, humankind has relied on various farming practices such as irrigation, tilling, fertilization, and pest and disease management. Over the past few years, studies have highlighted the impacts of such practices, not only in terms of plant health or yields but also on the microbial communities associated with plants, which have been investigated through microbiome studies. Because some microorganisms exert beneficial traits that improve plant growth and health, understanding how to modulate microbial communities will help in developing smart farming and favor plant growth-promoting (PGP) microorganisms. With tremendous cost cuts in NGS technologies, metagenomic approaches are now affordable and have been widely used to investigate crop-associated microbiomes. Being able to engineer microbial communities in ways that benefit crop health and growth will help decrease the number of chemical inputs required. Against this background, this review explores the impacts of agricultural practices on soil- and plant-associated microbiomes, focusing on plant growth-promoting microorganisms from a metagenomic perspective.
