Abstract
Herbicides are most frequently employed in large volume among available pesticides to control weed, of which only meager amount reaches the target pest and remaining accumulates in the environment posing a large-scale threat to crops, soil microbes, and aquatic and human lives. Existing strategies are cumbersome, ineffective, and unreliable and produce toxic intermediates. Hence, effective and efficient strategies are now being developed to clean the herbicides, especially pendimethalin (PND) in an economically and environment-friendly manner. Therefore, this review attempts to pool all the published literature to consolidate biotic as well as abiotic degradation of PND and enlist the metabolic products of the pathway formed during the PND biodegradation in different microbial systems. The overview of microbial degradation of PND may be useful to design economically viable strategy to clean up soil, sediments, and water contaminated with PND and related nitroaromatics under edaphic/hostile conditions.
