The qualities of the environment are continuously being degraded by persistent and recalcitrant pollutants released into different ecosystems due to anthropogenic activities viz., improper wastewater discharge, unscientific solid waste management, rapid industrialization, urbanization, and application of recalcitrant substances and pesticides. These persistent pollutants not only affect the living organisms in soil and water but also have deleterious impacts on human health. Undoubtedly, synthetic substances like pesticides, herbicides, etc., are helpful for controlling unwanted pes
