An increase of organic waste coming from different humans and productive activities is a continuous concern, and their application in soil is proposed many times as a solution to disposal problem. In agricultural soil, this practice is actually more popular because of its contribution as a fertilizer and soil enhancement. Recently, increased interest has been focused on assessing the influence of organic waste added to the soil related to pesticides behavior. The studies carried out show that addition of organic matter and nutrient mainly can affect the adsorption, movement, and biodegradation of pesticides. This review shows the factors involved, trend, and result obtained with pesticide behavior in soil amendment. Contradictory trends are reported in the literature on the pesticides' fate. These are mainly because soil type differences, pesticide characteristics, and source amendment are difficult to organize in a tendency pattern, and can significantly complicate the understanding of pesticides fate.
