Mycoremediation: A Sustainable Approach for Pesticide Pollution Abatement

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Bioremediation and Biotechnology, Vol 2

Abstract

The sustainable approach to reducing pesticide pollution by using mycoremediation methods also aims to monitor and give equal importance to all ecological categories of organisms installed on degraded lands with maximum risk, because only a specific diversity in the ecosystem can guarantee its stability, its chances of evolution, and implicitly the ecoprotective functions for which it is installed. Toxic substances are sometimes needed to eradicate a particularly serious infestation or disease, but these toxic substances should be used as a last resort after using all bioremediation methods including mycoremediation methods. Recovery of appropriate biological processes is vital.
