Abstract:

This study analyzed journal papers and patents in the field of major plant epidemic at home and abroad from 2011 to 2020, explored current situation and cutting-edge trends of plant epidemic research, aiming to provide valuable reference for the research innovation in this field and the construction of plant epidemic prevention and control system in China. The bibliometric method was used to sort out the paper publishing countries, journals and cited frequencies in the field of major plant epidemics at home and abroad from 2011 to 2020 in Web of Science core collection, and the research frontiers and hotspots were obtained by keyword analysis. The regional distribution and technical fields were analyzed by patentometrics. Scientific and technological innovation in major plant fields in the world developed steadily, and the number of published papers and patents continued to rise. China ranked first in the total number of published papers and patents in the world, but the degree of international cooperation and the citation frequency of papers were low. China had a large number of authors with high publication volume, but the degree of international cooperation among authors was low. Research hotspots in this field mainly focused on disease identification and control, and chemical ecology of diseases and pests, such as drug resistance monitoring, pesticide risk assessment, and research on biological functional genes. Although China has strong research and development strength in this field, it still needs to improve exchanging and learning ability in domestic and foreign advantageous fields to enhance its influence, and actively carries out international technical research cooperation, so as to provide strong support for the development of long-term effective control of plant epidemic.
