The work in two years was identifying the obsolete pesticides in 91 the former warehouses of chemical plant protection products. In two regions （Almaty and Akmola regions） of Kazakhstan, the total amount of 388.6 tones of obsolete pesticides and unidentified stockpile material was observed, along with 513 pesticide containers. Results of the study have shown that soil around storehouses polluted by organochlorine pesticides residues in soil included metabolites of DDT （p, p＇-dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane） and HCH （hexachlorocyclohexane）. The strategy was to identify pesticide-tolerant plant genotypes which can be used for phytoremediation of pesticide-contaminated soils in Almaty regions of Kazakhstan. The results have shown that selected wild species plants demonstrated ability to phytoaccumulation of organochlorine metabolites and reduce pesticide concentrations in soil （control without plant）. It was shown that accumulation of pesticides depended on the species of plants, plant biomass and pesticide concentrations in soil. The use of mineral fertilizers resulted in stimulation of growth and biomass accumulation followed by an increasing phytoextraction.展开更多
