Abstract :The use of chemicals such as insecticides, herbicides, fungicides and nematocides is common in agriculture and farmers nedd to use them to protect crops from pests, weeds and fungi. While these agents are necessary to control pests and weeds, they have often had undesirable consequences, such as harming non-target organisms, including aquatic species. Bioremediation is one of an usefulI method for eliminating negative effects of these kind of chemicals in receiving environments such as soil and water. In this study Pencillium jensenii soil fungi used as a bioremediator tool for bioremediate a fluopyram nematocide with important environmental parameters such as Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Total Organic Carbon (TOC) in agiated culture conditions in certain time periods. According to the results of the study, P. jensenii performed high COD and TOC removal efficiencies against fluopyron nematocide as 88% for both parameters in 6 and 7 days respectively. This means, P. jensenii is a suitable tool for bioremdiate this kind of nematocides in agricultural activities.
