Bioremediation of Pesticide-Contaminated Soil: Emerging Options

  • Chapter

Abstract

The increasing demand on agricultural produce has increased the usage of pesticides that in turn have increased environmental pollution, leading to serious health concerns. Most of these chemicals are recalcitrant and hence accumulate in the environment. A large number of remedial measures have been proposed over the years, but bioremediation still remains the green route. This chapter discusses the various bioremediation options available and the difficulties in taking lab-scale studies to the field.
