“…The isolated strain was screened for pesticide tolerance level. Active bacterial culture inoculated in MSM supplemented with ranges of pesticide concentrations were used for UV-spectrophotometric analysis at 600 nm for monitoring growth [20]. Pesticide concentration with maximum growth of isolate was observed.…”

Pesticides are inevitable part of Indian agriculture. Statistically, India is one of the top producer of pesticide over the world. As a developing country, abundance use of pesticide is quite common and organophosphates (OPP) being one of them. Known for causing acute toxicity, OPPs are needed to be used controllably and residues released into the environment should be treated to render harmless. Biological degradation is one of the effective ways to achieve that. However, exploring potential candidate for the purpose is still not sufficient compared to the necessity to alleviate OPP from environment. In this study, dimethoate, a subclass of OPP has been studied for microbial degradation using bacteria Bacillus paramycoides, isolated from rhizospheric soil of sugarcane cultivation fields pre-exposed to pesticide dimethoate for considerable long time. The strain has been extensively studied to check its prospect on environmental stress, pesticide tolerance and degradation efficiency. The isolate was found to degrade dimethoate by 97.6% in 5 days with a tolerance of 1000ppm of targeted pesticide. Emphasis have also been made to detect the secondary metabolites produced by the isolate using GCMS analysis and the functional groups were confirmed by FTIR. Significant biologically important metabolites obtained from B.paramycoides were also reported in this study which are known to have having anticancerous, antibacterial properties. This work presumably is the first communication prospecting B.paramycoides for dimethoate degradation.

“…Organic farming system is a creative system that cover agriculture along with biodiversity, ecosystem and prohibit all chemical inputs. These systems avoids feed additives, pesticides, chemical fertilizers, hormones, and encourage natural techniques viz., animal manure, nutrient flow, crop rotation, plant indemnity, offgarden waste and crop decays (Priyanka and Negi, 2018).…”

In the present scenario environmental conditions are adverse each and every one get affects by global warming, pollution (air, water, soil). Soil becomes infertile due to use of chemicals in the form of insecticides, fungicides and fertilizers and we get food with harsh chemicals those produce many health problems and show harmful effects on the environment. Organic production is a system that sustains soil, ecosystem and people health. Along with health benefits, organic farming has lots of benefits in our environment; ecosystem, ecological cycles and biodiversity adapted to community surroundings. Organic agricultural system joins science, innovation and tradition, to give benefit to the environment. In organic farming nano-fertilizers fulfils all requirements present as well as future generation under eco-friendly conditions.
