Hotspots analysis and direction exploration of edible mushroom disease research based on bibliometrics

Abstract:

Disease is one of the important factors that affect the yield and quality of edible mushroom. At present, there is no intuitive understanding of the research status and development direction on mushroom diseases. Based on the articles focusing on edible mushroom disease published both domestic and overseas since 2010, the article counts, journals, citation rate, research institutions and keywords were analyzed, respectively. The co-occurrence analysis of key words was further carried out. Subsequently, the research focuses of edible mushroom disease were summarized. The analysis shows that green mold disease, brown blotch disease, cobweb disease, virus infection, wet bubble disease and soft rot disease are the six most concerned edible mushroom diseases both domestic and oversea. Additionally, the attention on dry bubble disease is decreasing, and the mushroom types infected by cobweb disease are increasing continuously. This paper also investigated the occurrence dynamics of edible mushroom diseases based on the historical trends, and considered that the detection of environmental harmful microorganisms, screening of disinfectants and control of soil-borne fungal diseases will be the key research fields in the future.
