Abstract: Atrazine is one of the most widely used herbicides in farmland, which might be harmful to plant, fish and mammals including humans if too much atrazine is applied. Therefore, a study on atrazine degradation in soil is an effective way to prevent or slow down its harm to ecological environment. To study the ecological significance of different degradation approaches of atrazine in soil in recent 20 years, we reviewed researches on atrazine's damage and degradation methods, as well as progresses of remediation technologies by using plants, microorganisms and plants associated with microorganisms in atrazine polluted soil, respectively. Moreover, we put forward the existing problems and future study avenues of these technologies. Finally, we proposed that using absucular mycorrhizal to restore atrazine polluted soil would be an ideal remediation technology effectively and ecologically.
