SCIENTOMETRIC ANALYSIS ON THE USE OF PASTURE IRRIGATION IN THE YEARS 2013 TO 2023

Abstract

The objective of this work was to analyze the development of scientific publications on pasture irrigation in the years 2013 to 2023 through scientometrics. Pair searches were carried out in the databases: Web of Science of the Institute for Scientific Training (ISI), Scielo, Science Direct, Springer, PubMed and Scopus to download the data collected from each search platform. To guide the research, the following questions were used: What is the number of publications on pasture irrigation in the last 10 years in the world? The following keywords were used for the research: irrigated grasses and tropical grasses and pasture irrigation, both were searched in Portuguese, English and Spanish. After screening according to the chosen criteria, a total of 296 studies were obtained. The country with the highest number of publications was Brazil and the platform with the highest number of articles was Science Direct. It was observed that there was an increase in the production of works on irrigation, with the most used being sprinkler and center pivot irrigation, showing an increase in forage production.
