pesticide-degradation
Pesticide degradation is the process by which pesticides are broken down—through microbial, chemical, or photolytic pathways—into less harmful compounds in soil and plant environments. Understanding this process is critical for plant science because residual pesticides can accumulate in plant tissues, disrupt growth and physiology, and affect soil microbial communities that support root health. Research into degradation pathways helps scientists develop safer agrochemicals and cultivation practices that minimize toxic persistence in agricultural ecosystems.
