Green Revolution plays a crucial rule in replacing the trends of ancient agricultural practices with the modern agricultural tools to increase productivity and prevention of crops against diseases by different types of pests.Increased needs enhance the usage of chemicals also termed as Pesticides in different parts of the world that can produce toxic effects. These chemicals enter into the atmospherethrough air, water, soil and through the food chain. Owing to their indiscriminant and excessiveuse over the crops, their detection and analysis is of prime concern today. Conventionally, chromatographicand spectroscopic methods are employed for determining their presence to prevent contamination of environment against their alarming effects. These techniques are highly expensive, laborious and time consuming. This immediate need leads to the development of biosensors as a promising alternative over conventional ones for detection of pesticides. Biosensors consist of Bio-recognition element and transducer part. We can classify them either on the basis of input recognition element or on the basis of methods employed to convert the signal into the usable form like electrical, Optical or Fluorescence based. In this paper, we introduce novel ways forthe development of transducers classification for antibody based input bio-recognition elementbiosensors upon the certain types of pesticides that are much harmful and creates irreversible effects.The success of the use of biosensors lies in their uniqueness to interface the biological element with transducer component and senses for the specific analyte. The biosensors specifically combines the property of biological elements with the physical transducer. The type of transducer employed depends upon the concentration of analyte in the sample.With their efficient use, alarming effects of different pollutants can be controlled. The contribution of biosensors to the agricultural sector is really amazing.
