ABSTRACT
Contamination by pesticides is known to be one of the major issues that are enormously
degrading the quality of food and fodder crops together with increased agricultural, environmental
and aquatic pollution. Many analytical and laboratory methods are available
for detection of these pesticides in products in order to maintain food security but these
methods are not readily accessible to most people including farmers for on-site and onfield
detection in the crops. The development of more convenient, fast, and cost-effective
methods that can be easily accessed by laymen based on simple paper strips or mobile analyzers
etc. are need of the time. This review includes a brief discussion about novel devices
which have been introduced in the field for pesticide detection viz. easy to use colorimetric
and non-colorimetric detection methods based on various electrochemical and optical
sensing strategies. These techniques exhibited promising results in field of on-site pesticide
detection owing to their easy production, high sensitivity and readily accessible results obtained
with these portable devices. This review further describes emerging prospects, deficits
and challenges associated with the application of the aforementioned sensing devices.
