Description	In modern agriculture, the intensive use of pesticides is very frequent. However, their application and mismanagement have led to pest resistance, contamination of soil, air, and water, as well as the entry of these compounds into the food chain. All this generates the need to use technologies in order to remediate the contaminated sites partially or totally. For this reason, physical and chemical methods have been developed. However, due to its high cost and the waste generated during the process, these methods are not widely accepted. The use of microorganisms to degrade these compounds has a greater acceptance because they are cheaper and do not cause damage to the environment. In this work, the importance of generating new alternatives and/or efficient tools for the treatment of pesticide residues for the bioremediation of contaminated sites is analyzed. In addition, the bioremediation technologies susceptible to be applied to pesticides once they have reached the environment are discussed. To optimize the treatment, in situ and ex situ technologies using microorganisms and/or plants are described, in addition to the use of biosurfactants when necessary. The advantages and disadvantages of the use of genetically modified organisms are also discussed. Book Name: Strategies for Bioremediation of Organic and Inorganic Pollutants
