This book focuses on the microbial degradation of endosulfan,
lindane, chlorophenols, organochlorine, aldrin, dieldrin,
isoproturon and atrazine, etc. which are commonly used in crop
fields to kill the pests. Further, it illustrates the role of
degradative enzymes, metabolic pathways of degradation, toxicity of
metabolites, and the factors regulating the pesticide degradation.
In view of persistence of synthetic pesticides, scientists have
discovered suitable microbes, such as bacteria, fungi and algae
(naturally occurring or genetically engineered) over the years.
After successful trials under laboratory and field conditions,
these microbes are being used to degrade chemical pesticides in
agriculture. As of now 2.56 billion kg of chemical pesticides is
used every year to protect agricultural fields against pest attack.
These technologies have been found to be highly effective,
eco-friendly and cost-effective without disturbing the
agro-ecosystems. As this book contains review articles contributed
by various researchers from different countries whose work
demonstrates recent advances in microbial degradation of
pesticides, it will serve as a ready reckoner and also a valuable
quick reference guide for scientists, academicians, cultivators and
industrialists alike.
