摘要

Seed coatings play a critical role in modern agriculture by incorporating protectants, fertilizers and beneficial microorganisms to enhance germination, plant establishment and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. In recent years, scientific interest in these technologies has increased, driven by the need for more efficient and sustainable production systems. However, gaps remain in understanding key research trends, leading authors, and international collaborations in the field. This study aimed to conduct a detailed bibliometric analysis of the scientific production on corn seed coating to identify research trends, collaborative networks, and scientific impact. A total of 239 articles from the Web of Science and Scopus databases were analyzed, revealing significant growth in publications, particularly in China, the USA and Brazil. Key topics include biological control, seed treatment efficacy, and environmental impact mitigation, reflecting the balance between productivity and agricultural sustainability. The analysis identified the most influential authors, institutions and journals, with Crop Protection and Pest Management Science playing a central role. A strong international collaborative network was also observed, with countries such as Canada and Denmark showing high relevance and citation impact despite lower publication volumes. Future trends point to the development of coatings that integrate biological control agents and controlled-release nutrient technologies to promote environmentally friendly agricultural practices. This study provides a strategic perspective to guide scientific advances and influence global policy toward sustainable maize production.
