The invention discloses a fluorescent probe and a pesticide residue detection kit based on a carboxylesterase inhibition method. The pesticide residue detection kit comprises a reagent stock solution a and a reagent stock solution b, wherein the reagent stock solution a is a buffer solution containing phosphate, and the reagent stock solution b is a solution of the fluorescent probe. Experiments find that the strength of the self fluorescence of the probe is very weak, and after carboxylesterase is added, the probe react and release an IR-780 hemicyanine skeleton fluorescent parent body, the fluorescence of the solution is remarkably strengthened, showing that the method can be used for detection of the activity of the carboxylesterase; after adding a tiny amount of pesticides in the carboxylesterase, the fluorescence of the solution is remarkably weakened, showing that a tiny amount of the pesticides can inhibit the activity of the carboxylesterase, and thus the fluorescent probe can be used for detection of pesticide residues. The fluorescent probe has the advantages of being easy to operate, low in cost, fast, efficient and sensitive, and the fluorescent probe is convenient for application and popularization, and has a huge application prospect in the fields of agriculture, food and the like.
