Abstract: The present study tests one of the important bibliometric laws that is Bradford’s Law of scattering for the literature related to ‘Bacterial Blight’ research for the period 1989- 2021 as reflected in the Web of Science Core Collection database (Science Citation Index expanded). A total of 4748 articles related to Bacterial Blight research published and are scattered in 643 journals during the study period are retrieved.  It was observed that the Phytopathology ranks first with total 5.22% (248) publications share, followed By Plant Disease ranks 2nd with 4.82% (229) publications, Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions ranks 3rd with 2.49% (118) publications. In the present study, theoretical aspects of Bradford’s Law of Scattering are tested also, graphical formation by drawing the bibliograph and found that the data do not fit to the present sample.
