| description | Pesticides play a pivotal role in agriculture for the effective production of various crops. The indiscriminate use of pesticides results in the significant bioaccumulation of pesticide residues in vegetables. This situation is beyond the control of consumers and poses a serious health issue for human beings. Occupational exposure to pesticides may occur for farmers, agricultural workers, and industrial producers of pesticides. This occupational exposure primarily causes food and water contamination that gets into humans and environmental pollution. Depending on the toxicity of pesticides, the causes and effects differ in the environment and in human health. The number of criteria used and the method of implementation employed to assess the effect of pesticides on humans and the environment have been increasing, as they may provide characterization of pesticides that are already on the market as well as those that are on the way. The biological control of pests has been increasing nowadays to combat all these effects caused by synthetic pesticides. Myco-biocontrol has received great attention in research because it has no negative impact on humans, the environment, or non-target species. Entomopathogenic fungi are microbes that have the ability to kill insect pests. Fungi also make enzymes like the lytic enzymes, esterase, oxidoreductase, and cytochrome P450, which react with chemical residues in the field and break them down into nontoxic substances. In this review, the authors looked at how entomopathogenic fungi break down insecticides in the environment and how their enzymes break down insecticides on farms. |
