Abstract
Durum wheat is essential for global food security. Nevertheless, its cultivation is susceptible to hazards, including unpredictability in yield and grain quality. This systematic review and bibliometric analysis identify factors influencing durum wheat yield and quality, assessing the degree of control farmers have over these factors. The goal is to understand their impact on production risks. Peer-reviewed studies in English from 1990 to April 2024 that focused on the yield or quality of durum wheat were included, while those lacking specific data or not peer-reviewed were excluded. Data were acquired via the Web of Science (WoS), with the concluding search conducted in April 2024. Results were synthesized from 2131 studies selected from an initial pool of 5159, using a bibliometric approach to categorize findings into standard, biotic, abiotic, and other factors. Analysis revealed that practices like irrigation and nitrogen fertilization improve yields, while genetic advancements boost stress resilience. These insights support targeted agronomic strategies. Despite potential biases and inconsistencies, the review underscores key strategies to enhance durum wheat risk management and bolster food security.
