Abstract

The study delves into the prevailing focal points and developmental trends within the international sphere of crop root research under drip irrigation. It leverages the Web of Science core database and employs VOSviewer for a systematic review of the literature spanning 2001 to 2022. The analysis encompasses publication counts, publishing journals, contributing authors, research institutions, and keywords. Findings indicate that research on root systems under drip irrigation has become a notable area of interest in the field of irrigation, attracting global scholarly attention. There is a marked upward trend in publication output, with institutions in China and the United States taking on central roles. Journals like Agricultural Water Management and Acta Horticulturae are key publication venues, with Vadose Zone Journal being notable for high-impact articles. The research primarily involves agronomy, water resources, and horticulture, focusing on yield enhancement through drip irrigation, root distribution under various techniques, crop quality in response to partial root-zone drying, and irrigation scheduling model development. Scholars like Jiri Simunek and Yaohu Kang have made substantial contributions. The field’s established framework calls for continued international collaboration to drive further innovation. The identified trends and parameters can be a valuable reference for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners, guiding efforts to optimize agricultural productivity and resource use.
