摘要： Reducing the use of chemical inputs is becoming a major challenge in developing sustainable agriculture. Fungi, known as biocontrol agents (BCAs) and biofertilisers, are crucial in scientific research and are celebrated for their efficacy, eco-friendliness, and multifaceted roles. In this study, a bibliometric analysis was conducted on 5349 articles related to fungi as BCAs and biofertilisers over the past half-century using the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database. The publications on fungi, such as BCAs and biofertilisers, have increased significantly over the last 20 years, with a maximum growth rate of 33.7%. The USA and China lead in this field. Keyword clustering analysis revealed that entomopathogenic fungi, including Hemiptera, Coleoptera, and Lepidoptera, can be used to manage plant pests. It also showed that fungi can be used as biofertilisers to promote plant growth. The analysis of research trends shows that Beauveria bassiana in biological control is highly significant. This study also showed that entomopathogenic fungi control plant pests by infiltrating the insect cuticles. Trichoderma spp. exert biocontrol effects by producing antibiotics. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi can trigger plant defence mechanisms by modulating secondary metabolite synthesis. This study contributes to the current knowledge of fungi as BCAs and biofertilisers and can guide future research.
