A bibliometric analysis of biopesticides in corn pest management: Current trends and future prospects

Amik Krismawati et al. Heliyon. .

Abstract

This bibliographic review paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the scholarly literature on biopesticides utilized in corn pest management, employing a bibliometric approach to identify current trends and prospects in the field. The growing demand for sustainable agricultural practices has fueled interest in biopesticides as effective alternatives to conventional chemical pesticides. By systematically examining relevant publications, this review synthesizes the collective knowledge on biopesticide applications in corn production, encompassing various types of biopesticides, their modes of action, efficacy against key corn pests, and environmental considerations. The study synthesizes recent advances in microbial, botanical, and biochemical biopesticides such as Bacillus thuringiensis, neem extracts, and linalool, highlighting their specificity, minimal environmental impact, and potential to reduce pest resistance. It delves into the modes of action, including insecticidal activity, feeding disruption, and pest reproduction inhibition. The review also outlines an integrated pest management (IPM) strategy that combines biopesticides with agronomic practices, including crop rotation, biological control agents, and resistant crop varieties. This combined approach aims to enhance pest suppression, improve yield sustainability, and reduce chemical pesticide reliance. The findings provide valuable insights into sustainable corn pest management practices, promoting environmental conservation and agricultural productivity. Ultimately, this review aims to provide researchers, policymakers, and practitioners with a valuable resource for understanding the current landscape of biopesticides in corn pest management and guiding future research directions toward sustainable crop protection strategies.
