Abstract

The management of wheat straw residues after grain harvesting and the preparation of fields for secondary crops are important components of sustainable agricultural production systems. This study presents a bibliometric analysis of global scientific research related to wheat straw residue management and secondary crop field preparation. A total of 87 Scopus-indexed publications published between 2007 and 2026 were analyzed using bibliometric indicators and VOSviewer software. The study evaluated annual publication trends, leading authors, productive countries, journal distribution, citation impact, co-authorship networks, and keyword co-occurrence patterns. The results revealed a significant increase in scientific output after 2018, indicating growing international interest in conservation agriculture and residue management technologies. India, Mexico, and Belgium were identified as the leading contributors to this research field, while Soil and Tillage Research was the dominant publication source. Keyword clustering analysis showed that most studies focused on conservation agriculture, soil quality, residue management, and soil hydrology. However, limited attention has been given to agricultural machinery engineering, particularly the development of mechanized systems for straw handling and post-harvest field preparation. The study highlights the need for future research on multifunctional straw-management machinery, soil–machine interaction modeling, and region-specific conservation tillage technologies. The findings provide a scientific basis for researchers and agricultural engineers working on sustainable residue management and secondary crop production systems.
