The rapid global population growth and limitations of traditional agricultural practices have resulted in inadequate nutrient supply. Nano-agricultural technology presents significant potential for enhancing crop growth and resistance, reducing stresses, and providing economic benefits with lower environmental risks.
In this study, a bibliometric analysis of nano-agricultural applications was conducted using the Web of Science Core Collection, and 2,626 publications from 2000 to 2023 were identified, with an exponential increase in both publications and citations.
European and Asian countries and institutions are more actively involved, although USA produces the highest-quality papers. Additionally, this field has evolved through two stages: the first stage (2000-2016) focused on the toxicology of nanomaterials (NMs), while the second stage (2017-present) emphasizes NMs as nanofertilizers to promote crop growth, and as nanoregulators or nanopesticides to enhance crop resistance against biotic stress and abiotic stress. Finally, future research perspectives were also proposed, including the optimalizations of NMs, the investigations of the behavior and bioavailability of NMs driven by rhizosphere and phyllosphere process, interdisciplinary collaboration across various fields, the application of NMs from laboratory to the field, and the long-term environmental behaviors and assessments of NMs in diverse ecosystems. Overall, this bibliometric study provides a valuable reference for understanding the development of this field and pinpointing research frontiers.
全球人口的快速增长以及传统农业实践的局限性导致养分供应不足。纳米农业技术在促进作物生长和抗性、减轻胁迫以及以较低环境风险提供经济效益方面具有巨大潜力。
本研究利用科学网核心合集对纳米农业应用进行了文献计量分析，共识别出2000年至2023年的2626篇出版物，出版物数量和被引次数均呈指数增长。
欧洲和亚洲国家及机构参与度更高，尽管美国产出的论文质量最高。此外，该领域经历了两个阶段的发展：第一阶段（2000 - 2016年）聚焦于纳米材料的毒理学，而第二阶段（2017年至今）则强调纳米材料作为纳米肥料促进作物生长，以及作为纳米调节剂或纳米农药增强作物对生物胁迫和非生物胁迫的抗性。最后，还提出了未来的研究展望，包括纳米材料的优化、根际和叶际过程驱动的纳米材料行为及生物有效性研究、跨领域的跨学科合作、纳米材料从实验室到田间的应用以及纳米材料在不同生态系统中的长期环境行为和评估。总体而言，这项文献计量研究为理解该领域的发展和确定研究前沿提供了有价值的参考。
