Dichlorvos is an organophosphate pesticide widely used in agriculture and industry for controlling insect pests. Indiscriminate and widespread use of this pesticide may result in impending toxicity to environment and human health. Dichlorvos has been banned in some countries and marked as a restricted pesticide in several other countries including India. The current review presents a chronological abridgement of dichlorvos pesticide as well as the research performed in the last three decades on biosensors for the detection and monitoring of dichlorvos, particularly in food, environment and agriculture. This review describes the progressive development of biosensors to detect dichlorvos pesticide from the use of conventional immobilizing supports to more advanced hybrid/composite nanomaterials. Furthermore, we summarize the development of biosensors by enzyme inhibition methods, wherein the enzymes acetylcholinesterase (AChE), tyrosinase etc., are immobilized on the transducer either by traditional immobilization methods or employing advanced nanomaterials for better integration.

敌敌畏是一种有机磷酸盐农药，广泛用于农业和工业中以控制害虫。不加选择地广泛使用这种农药可能导致对环境和人类健康的即将发生的毒性。敌敌畏在某些国家/地区已被禁止，并在包括印度在内的其他一些国家/地区被标记为限用农药。本篇综述介绍了敌敌畏农药的按时间顺序的分类以及最近三十年来对用于检测和监测敌敌畏的生物传感器的研究，特别是在食品，环境和农业领域。这篇综述描述了从使用常规固定载体到更先进的杂化/复合纳米材料来检测敌敌畏农药的生物传感器的逐步发展。此外，
