This study provides the basis for implementing a continuous treatment system wastewater containing pesticide mixture formed by atrazine, iprodione, and chlorpyrifos. Two fungal strains (Verticilium sp. H5 Metacordyceps H12) isolated from biomixture of biopurification were able to remove different concentrations (10 50 mg L−1) efficiently liquid medium; however, half-life pesticides was reduced ...
