Pesticides are essential tools in integrated pest management (IPM) programs which can have the great influence if they are used properly. However, the adverse impacts of these compounds on the environment and ecosystem should not be ignored. The ecological effects of pesticides can be discussed from different points of view. Some of the significant consequences of use of pesticides are side eff...

biological control plays a very important role in pest management. bacillus thuringiensis ber. has been widely used as a biological control agent in over 60% of microbial-based pesticides and moreover, its gene inducing pest resistance has been used in the production of a large number of transgenic plants (bt-crops). the successful performance of some of these bt-based bio-pesticides depends on...

Purpose: Scientists have identified a plenty of bacterial strains having ability to degrade pesticide residues accumulated in the environment. Due wide variation chemical properties pesticides, single strain may not be versatile. Hence, identification bioremediation various bacteria is important. This review focused on understanding and explaining role soil detoxification ability. Research Meth...

Children's Exposure to Pesticides Exposures of Farmworkers and Their Families Potential Health Effects of Exposure to OP Pesticides Effects of Acute Exposure to OP and Carbamate Pesticides in Children Long-Term Sequelae of Acute Exposure to OP and Carbamate Pesticides in Adults Effects of Chronic Exposure to OP and Carbamate Pesticides in Adults Animal Evidence for Neurodevelopmental Effects of...

Bacterial wilt is a soil-borne disease that causes severe damage in ginger-growing regions of Japan (eight prefectures the Shikoku, Kyushu, and Honshu regions). Because pathogen Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum usually lives deeper soil infects host plants via roots, it not easy to eliminate even with chemical pesticides (such as fumigants). In our previous study, we found anaerobic disinfestation ...

Chlorpyrifos (CP) is one of the most widely used organophosphate pesticides in agriculture worldwide, but its extensive use has led to the contamination of various soil and water systems. Microbial bioremediation is considered to be one of the most viable options for the removal of CP from the environment; however, little is known about the soil bacterial diversity that degrade CP. Sequential s...

The accumulation of organic pollutants, pesticides, fertilizers, etc. causing critical health trouble to humans, animals, many aquatic ecosystems, and plants. This study evaluated the elimination pesticides as pentachlorophenol (PCP: 800 mg L−1) by bioaugmentation process in sterile secondary treated wastewater (STWW) mineral salt medium (MSM). Also, impact surfactant addition (sodium dodecyl s...

since last few decades, the rapid industrialization has led to the development of many new chemicals, namely of which different kind of pesticides are of the most important ones. it is now evident that almost every food, agricultural product, water, soil and human body etc. is contaminated with some sort of chemical or pesticide. in some highly industrialized countries, new ailments have been r...

methoxy polyethylene glycol modified magnetite nanoparticles (pegmns) were synthesized and were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (sem), vibrating sample magnetometer (vsm), and x-ray diffraction (xrd) . the adsorption of diazinon onto (pegmns) was investigated by uv spectrophotometry at 236 nm, through batch experiments. the effects of adsorbent dosage, solution ph, contact time, s...
