Biosensors are systematic devices that detect signals from biochemical substances and convert them into quantitative data. They aid in preventing and diagnosing potential diseases and pathogens. The ease of use and accessibility of these devices has paved the way for many technological advancements, especially in the agricultural sector. In this study, the impact of piezoelectric, electrochemical, optical, and molecular biosensors in agricultural settings were analyzed using a bibliometric analysis software called VOSviewer. Various parameters and data sets such as biosensor trends, keyword relationships, and biosensor citation prevalence were used. The created maps showed that in the variable for co-authorship, Chinese authors were among the most prominent; while in the variable for co-occurrence: biosensor, agriculture, and biosensing techniques were among the top three words used; and in citation analysis for countries: China, United States, India, and Italy were the top countries with the most research and contribution in the field of biosensors. The results in this research will aid future studies and workings on biosensors by highlighting plausible trends and prospects in the field of research.
