Description Use of pesticides has turned out to be an obligatory input to agriculture and public health. Versatile
use of pesticides had resulted in contamination of all basic necessities of life, i.e. air, water and food.
Among various pesticides, organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs), derivative of phosphoric acid, are the
most extensively used insecticides or acaricides in many crops. Due to low persistency and high killing
efficiency of OPPs, many agriculturalists regularly use this group of pesticides for various vegetables and
fruits crops. The continuous use of pesticides has caused the deleterious effects to ecosystem. In response
to this, a number of methods have been developed by several regulatory agencies and private laboratories
and are applied routinely for the quantification and monitoring of multi pesticide residues in vegetables
and crops. The present review pertains to various extraction and quantification procedures used world
wide to analyze OPPs residues in various vegetables and fruits.
