Abstract

Agrochemicals serve critical roles in guaranteeing both food security and food safety. They are essential components in agricultural production and are used to manage or prevent illnesses, insects, and weeds. However, it was impossible to ignore the harm that contemporary synthetic pesticides caused to both people and the environment. To assure the commercial product’s quality and safety for both human and environmental health, the manufacture, registration, application, and monitoring of pesticides should be rigorously regulated. The analytical chemistry used in quality control (QC) testing for commercial formulations, residue analysis, dietary risk assessment, and pesticide regulation prospects is summarised in this paper. The fundamental ideas and components of analytical chemistry for pesticides are thoroughly introduced and examined. The specifications and standards of the pertinent guidelines from various organisations are also covered. The research frontiers and future trends for the development of new generations of agrochemicals, registration and enforcement, market surveillance, and pesticide risk management are finally discussed.
