Bibliometric Analysis of Pesticide Residues in Soil-Vegetable System on CiteSpace

Abstract

In order to ensure the improvement of crop yield, the use of pesticides has gradually increased, resulting in a large number of pesticide residues in environmental media such as soil. In this paper, the data are derived from the Web of Science (WOS) database, and the literature in the field of soil-vegetable pesticide pollution from 2001 to 2024 is visually analyzed by using CiteSpace 6.1.R6 visualization software, and the current status and future development trend of related research in this field are discussed. The results show that the number of papers published in the field of soil-vegetable pesticide pollution is generally on the rise, and China, the United States, India and other countries have the largest number of papers, and the research institutions are mainly the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. From the keyword center and frequency analysis, the main research hotspots are pesticide residues, detection methods and degradation mechanisms in soil-vegetables. From the perspective of keyword prominence analysis, the important direction of future research in this field will focus on the food safety of pesticide residues and sustainable agriculture.
