Abstract
The first factor is The P. aeruginosa bacteria-based bacterial inoculate at two levels, B0 and B1. The second factor is white fungus waste, which was added at three levels and coded as Ab0, Ab1, and Ab2. Thirdly, Zinc and boron nanoparticles was incorporated into four levels coded N0 minus addition, N1 nano Zinc, N2 nano Boron, and N3, a combination of both nano boron and nano zinc. It was carried out under field conditions employing a randomized complete block design (RCBD). Its presence was ascertained by subjecting the initial soil sample to the estimation of the pesticide accumulated in it by GC-MS. They further identify the kind of pesticide accumulating in the soil and then select for that specific high-resistant bacterium strain against such high concentrations of that identified pesticide. From the rhizosphere of the sugar bean plant, P. aeruginosa was isolated and used as a bacterial inoculum during a series of laboratory and field experiments. All combinations with a bacterial inoculum were degraded entirely compared to their control; their control had 18.090 mg kg-1 soil
