Synthetic pesticides are important chemicals since they are widely used to control many types of weeds, insects and other pests in a wide variety of agricultural and nonagricultural settings. This review article is aimed at describing the recent progress made in capillary electrophoresis (CE) and capillary electrochromatography (CEC) of pesticides and their metabolites. The various electrophoretic systems and detection schemes that have been introduced so far for the CE and CEC of pesticides are discussed. Also included in this review article are the various approaches for trace enrichment that are involved in the analysis of dilute pesticide samples.
