This review summarizes the application of spectroscopic techniques in pesticide residue analysis, with a focus on the principles, advancements, and challenges of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), infrared spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, and hyperspectral imaging (HSI). Nanomaterials, serving as key enhancing substrates, significantly improve the sensitivity and selectivity of these detection methods. The article critically evaluates the strengths and limitations of each technique in practical applications—such as the exceptional sensitivity of SERS versus its dependence on substrate reproducibility, and the non-destructive nature of hyperspectral imaging against the complexity of data processing. Future research directions should emphasize the development of intelligent nanosubstrates, the construction of cross-modal spectral databases, and the miniaturization of integrated spectroscopic-mass spectrometric instruments. These advancements are essential for enhancing the efficiency and reliability of agricultural and food safety monitoring.
