Pesticides play an essential role in modern agriculture, helping farmers manage pest populations and protect crops from diseases. However, the widespread and often indiscriminate use of pesticides has raised significant concerns regarding their environmental impact. One of the major routes through which pesticides enter the environment is agricultural runoff, a process by which water from rain or irrigation carries pesticides from fields into nearby water bodies. This contamination poses a serious threat to water quality, biodiversity, and public health. Consequently, it has become critical to develop reliable and efficient methods for detecting pesticides in agricultural runoff to monitor contamination levels and mitigate the associated risks. Chromatographic techniques have proven to be invaluable tools for pesticide analysis due to their high sensitivity, specificity, and ability to separate complex.
