Bibliometric-based research situation analysis in sealing treatment and reductive soil disinfestation

Based on bibliometric method, VOS viewer and Cite space were employed for visualization analysis to statistically analyze literature on sealing treatment and reductive soil disinfestation from China National Knowledge Infrastructure database（CNKI）and Web of Science（WoS）Core Collection database from 2013 to 2024 ．Hotspots in this field over the past decade were sorted out through keyword analysis．Results showed that number of Chinese and English publications exhibited a fluctuating growth trend, with China and the United States being the top publications．Among these, the United States Department of Agriculture and Nanjing Normal University in China published the highest number of papers．Current hotspots in sealing treatment and reductive soil disinfestation are structural changes in soil microbial communities, soil-borne diseases control effectiveness, and organic carbon source selection needed for treatment．Improvement effect of sealing treatment and reductive soil disinfestation on monocropping obstacle, its role in soil comprehensive quality improvement, its contribution to reducing secondary pollution, and improvement and refinement of its technology, application, and mechanism will be hot research directions for present and future．
