REVIEW AND RESEARCH TRENDS IN SOOTY MOLD CAUSING PLANT DISEASES | PLANT CELL BIOTECHNOLOGY AND ..

The term "sooty mould" refers to a variety of fungi that cause plant diseases. This fungus feeds on plants' sugary deposits. Controlling insects sucking plant sap is the most effective way to combat sooty mould. Plants with sooty mould develop a black powdery coating that blocks sunlight. This bibliometric study was carried out to determine the number of active authors, organisations, journals, and countries in the “Sooty mould” research domain. The VOS viewer was used to review all published papers relevant to "Sooty mould" from "Scopus" in order to create research tables and visualisation maps. The aim of this article is to compile the literature on the sooty mould and to identify trends in the field. The most active journal is Fungal Diversity, while Ecology Letters is the most productive with the most average citations. The New Zealand Journal of Botany has the most articles published. The United States is the most active and productive nation, and Malaysia has the highest average number of citations per publication. The institution with the most publications is the University of Canterbury's School of Biological Sciences in New Zealand. The Faculty Of Science,

The institution with the most co authorship ties is Thailand's Mae Fah Luang University.

The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation and Monash University's School of Biological Sciences are two of the most active research institutions in this field. Hughes S.J. and Hyde K.D. are the most active authors, and Green P.T. is the most prolific author with the highest citation rate.
