Analysis of Research Progress on Peanut Disease and Insect Pest Control Based on VOS Viewer

Abstract

Peanut cultivation spans across more than 100 countries globally as a vital oilseed crop. Nevertheless, the menace of pests and diseases poses a threat to peanut yield and quality, consequently impeding economic prosperity. To delve into the current research landscape concerning peanut disease and pest control, this study adopts a bibliometric methodology and employs a VOS viewer for multidimensional visualization analysis of pertinent literature published between 2004 and 2023, cataloged in the WOS database. Three stages of research progression are identified: Initial, steady growth flourishing. Key areas include cultivation practices, biological control, and resistance breeding genetic studies. Biological control and genetic breeding are prominent. The US, India, and China lead research efforts, emphasizing collaboration. Recommendations include enhancing surveillance, fostering collaboration, promoting interdisciplinary research, and translating findings into practical solutions for agricultural productivity and food security.
