Abstract

Pesticides constitute to be an integral part of modern agriculture. It has been estimated that approximately 35–45% of crop produce is lost due to infection by different pests, diseases, and growth of weeds. The application of these agrochemicals drastically reduces the effects of pests, weeds, and vector-borne diseases leading to enhanced crop productivity. It has become necessary to use pesticides on crops so as to provide food security to the growing population of the world. However, the indiscriminate utilization of pesticides has led to the persistence of their alarmingly high levels of residues in the environment. The toxicity of these agrochemicals extends largely to nontarget organisms such as humans, birds, and animals. The accurate sensing and efficient removal of these agrochemicals have become crucial due to the presence of their residues in environment and serious health hazards.

Nanoplatforms have drawn a considerable research orientation as alternatives to conventional systems for sensing of pesticide residues. Further, biofunctionalization of nanomaterials with biomolecules provides high specificity to the sensing platforms. The present chapter aims to explore various nanosensors reported till date for the sensing of different pesticides starting with general introduction of pesticides, classification, global scenario, and adverse health effects followed by nanoplatforms that have been investigated for the quantification of pesticides. Next, the nanoplatforms functionalized with specific biomolecules such as whole cells, DNA, antibodies, and enzyme (i.e., biosensors) have been discussed in detail. The chapter tends to highlight the promising properties, advantages, and limitations of the described sensing platforms.
