TENDÊNCIAS DA LITERATURA ACERCA DAS PESQUISAS COM FUNGICIDAS NO BRASIL

Abstract

Brazil stands out for its agricultural production, with around 20% of exports being represented by these products. Brazilian productivity in the 2021/22 grain harvest was around 271.2 million tons, an increase of almost 14.5 million tons when compared to the 2020/21 harvest, according to the National Supply Company (Conab). Among the factors that influence losses in agriculture, we highlight the occurrence of diseases caused by fungi, and fungicides are one of the solutions for controlling and combating these diseases. The objective of this work was to report the main trends in the scientific literature on studies on fungicides, as well as to know the fungicides registered between the years 2000 and 2022, the most commercialized active principles and the authors with the greatest contributions in the study area. The methodology adopted was exploratory. On the platforms of IBAMA and Agrofit, it was possible to obtain information on registration of fungicides and commercialization of active ingredients. Using the Web of Science (WoS) database, a search was performed using the keywords “Fungicide”, “Utilization” and “Brazil”. The selected articles were saved in “.bib” extension, and analyzed using the Bibliometrix package, for the R Studio software. From the results obtained, it was possible to know the fungicides registered between the year 2000 and 2022, the most commercialized active principles and authors with more contributions in this area of knowledge.
