Abstract
The widespread use of pesticides in contemporary agriculture has sparked worries about their negative impact on plant health and the environment. A thorough analysis of the function of microbial inoculants in reducing pesticide toxicity in plants is provided in this book chapter. Microbial inoculants, including bacteria and fungi, have shown promising potential in enhancing plant resilience to pesticide stress and promoting sustainable agricultural practices. The chapter explores the mechanisms by which these microorganisms influence the fate and impact of pesticides in the soil-plant system and the importance of understanding the mechanisms underlying the interaction between microbial inoculants and pesticides. Through various studies and experiments, scientists have elucidated the intricate processes involved in microbial degradation, enzymatic activities, and alleviation of oxidative stress in plants. This knowledge serves as a foundation for the development of targeted strategies for the application of microbial inoculants in different agricultural systems.
