Advancements in techniques used for identification of pesticide residue on crops

Electrochemical Sensors based on Gold–Silver Core–Shell Nanoparticles Combined with a Graphene/PEDOT:PSS Composite Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode for Paraoxon-ethyl Detection

“…The concern about pesticide residue in foods has become a critical issue in modern farming due to excessive and uncontrolled application to agricultural land, which has led to environmental pollution and aquatic pollution. In the literature, the percentage of pesticide sprayed on agricultural crops that reaches the target pest is thought to be less than 0.1%, with the rest contaminating the surrounding environment and left as pesticide residues. , Most pesticide residues are classified as toxic and harmful substances depending on their chemical structures, which can enter the food chain through water, soil, and food including vegetables and fruits. , Moreover, humans can absorb pesticide residue from the environment through their skin and respiratory and digestive systems. , One of the pesticide residues that might occur in the environment and enter the human body via the digestive system is paraoxon-ethyl, which is used in agricultural farming because of its exceptional ability to control and eradicate the population of pests and insects. , The accumulation of trace-level concentrations of paraoxon-ethyl residue in the human body can cause a serious threat to the metabolic, immune, and central nervous systems . Furthermore, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) declared that paraoxon-ethyl (one of the most widespread organophosphate insecticides) is a dangerous compound due to its 70% similarity of chemical properties with the nerve agent sarin .…”

Identification of Insecticide Residues in Inceptisols at The Central of Horticultural Production, Banuhampu Agam West Sumatra

“…Natural insecticides can be used as an alternative in tackling plant pest organisms. Reducing the use of chemical insecticides requires finding alternative controls that are environmentally friendly, including the use of bioactive materials (botanical insecticides, attractants, and repellents), natural enemies (parasitoids and predators and pathogens), and the use of adhesive traps [7] [8]. Plant-based insecticides are single or compound active ingredients derived from plants that can be used to control pest organisms.…”

Effect of Aspect Ratio of a Gold-Nanorod-Modified Screen-Printed Carbon Electrode for Carbaryl Detection in Three Different Samples of Vegetables

“…One of the major challenges to ensuring food security for global consumers in the world is the development of rapid detection techniques for detecting pesticide residues and their metabolites in foodstuffs. , Their bioaccumulation in agricultural land that is highly dangerous for human health may be derived from unregulated and excessive usage and thus adversely impact the quality and safety of foodstuffs. , Therefore, developing a robust analytical method for detecting residual pesticides in foodstuffs and monitoring their concentration in the environment is necessary. Among those residual pesticides commonly found in foodstuffs, carbaryl as a carbamate family has been widely used to increase production in agricultural lands due to its high efficiency and powerful activity in controlling the population of harmful insects to a variety of plant crops. , When the carbaryl residue occurs in food and subsequently enters the human body, it can cause a great threat and lead to several serious failures and hazards in the metabolic system. − Moreover, the European Union (EU) has regulated the maximum residue limits (MRLs) of carbaryl concentration in several foodstuffs from 0.01 to 0.05 mg kg –1 .…”
