Unveiling The Research Trends And Visualization of Vector Borne Plant Virus Diseases Through Bibliometric Analysis

Abstract

Abstract Agricultural crops are threatened by plethora of Plant diseases. Diseases can lead to 100% crop loss, and can destroy the economic production. Various groups of micro-organisms are known to cause epidemic, endemic, pandemic and sporadic diseases in plants. Plant viral diseases have significant economic consequences for the agricultural industry. They can reduce crop yields, lower the quality of harvested produce, and lead to crop losses. Some of them also gets transmitted by different insects and spread rapidly. Mainly the sucking insects like aphids, whiteflies, leafhoppers, thrips etc are majorly known vectors of plant diseases. Since decades, the vector borne transmission studies, protection techniques, dissemination studies were the core interest of the scientific community. In our current bibliometric research, we have aimed to identify the majorly contributed countries, the collaborative institutes, suggestive precautionary methods to analyse all vector borne plant diseases. The purpose of this study is to examine global research conducted between 1966 and 2023, with a focus on the use of different vector borne plant diseases, protection techniques, identification techniques for diagnostic assays studies. This analysis provides insights into the major publishing journals, institutions involved, leading journals, influential authors, most cited articles, and common keywords by retrieving data from the 'Dimensions' database and employing bibliometric visualization software. According to our analysis, the research on vector borne plant diseases has been surged after 2000. Summary of the abstract is picturized below.
