Abstract :Chemical control in agriculture is a common practice worldwide and serves several purposes in crop production. Pesticides act as an effective control way of pests and diseases. They can provide rapid and targeted control, reducing pest populations and minimizing crop damage in a relatively short period. However, the intensive use of pesticides has a negative impact on the environment and human health. They may persist in the environment, accumulate in the food chain, and potentially harm non-target organisms, including humans. Soil and water sources are contaminated with these pesticides. Eliminating pesticide residues from soil is a complex process because residues in soil can persist for long periods and may penetrate deeper into the soil profile. Several methods can help mitigate pesticide residues in the soil. Microorganisms naturally present in the soil can degrade pesticide residues through biological processes. Bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms can break down pesticides into simpler, less toxic compounds. Bacterial species play vital role in the natural attenuation and bioremediation of pesticide-contaminated environments. Several bacterial species are known for their ability to degrade pesticides. Some of the notable ones include: Pseudomonas, Bacillus Sphingomonas, Arthrobacter and Rhodococcus species. This review highlights bacterial strains having pesticide biodegradation capability in a the safety and effective way.
