Plant Agronomic Features Can Predict Quality and Field Performance: A Bibliometric Analysis

Plant quality and survival prediction tools are useful when applied in the field different agricultural sectors. The objectives of this study were to conduct a review bibliometric analysis Dickson Quality Index (DQI) as key plant indicator with respect its scientific applications. A third objective was identify main morphological physiological parameters used production research. methodology findings 289 articles analysed based on morphological, physiological, mathematical indicators research forest, medicinal, horticultural, aromatic, ornamental species. During last 10 years, number publications that have DQI parameter has increased by 150%, Brazilian researchers stand out most frequent users. Forestry is discipline where their biometric relationships often facilitate intensive production. Use increases certainty prediction, selection, productivity chain. robust tool application great potential for use preselection plants high standards among wide range
