Abstract
Two soil fungi, namely Aspergillus niger and Trichoderma viride were evaluated for the degradation of chlorpyrifos. T. viride has been found to be more active, 95.7% of chlorpyrifos degraded in the presence of T. viride as compared to 72.3% in A. niger by day—14. The toxic metabolite of chlorpyrifos, 3, 5, 6‐trichloropyridinol was not detected during the 14‐day incubation period.Keywords
