Agrochemicals in Soil and Environment

  • 670 Accesses

Abstract

In modern agriculture, several synthetic chemicals are used to achieve higher crop production and to mitigate biotic stresses in plants. Crop productivity has increased over the last few decades as a result of the use of newer technologies and stress control measures but due to excessive use of agrochemicals to tackle the problem of crop damage during the pre- and post-harvest period, it has become a significant threat to the productivity and sustainability of the ecosystem. Bioremediation technique has been used for degradation/removal of agrochemicals from the environment. Microbial bioremediation is utilizing the potential of microorganisms to remove the toxic materials from the environment. The role of several strains of Aspergillus in bioremediation of agrochemicals is well understood, and due to its cosmopolitan distribution, it has a great potential for in situ bioremediation. A diverse array of secondary metabolites, bioactive peptides, enzymes and lectins secreted by Aspergillus strains are reported to aid in breaking down the complex agrochemicals. In this review, we have discussed the role of the fungal genus Aspergillus in the bioremediation of the agrochemicals.
