Abstract
The high-quality development of agriculture is related to the survival of human beings. Olfactory biosensors show great potential for application in agriculture with their significant advantages in sensitivity, selectivity, and stability. This paper reviews the development history of olfactory biosensors, introduces the characteristics of their sensitive layer, analyzes the signal conversion mechanism, describes the preparation techniques, and discusses the application of olfactory biosensors in agriculture. The current application challenges, future trends, and economics of olfactory biosensors are also analyzed. Hopefully, this paper will provide a new perspective for the research of olfactory biosensors in agriculture, promote the further development of related technologies, and support the realization of smart agriculture and green transformation of agriculture.
