Winter wheat-summer corn is a major food crop in China, and securing its production is of great significance to China's food security. China's water shortage, and water and fertilizer utilization rate is low, so it is very necessary to carry out water-fertilizer coupling experiments, to investigate the efficient water-fertilizer coupling program and the impact of different irrigation volume of fertilizer application on crop growth. This paper discusses and summarizes the effects of water-fertilizer coupling on the growth, yield and quality of winter wheat-summer maize, and puts forward the prospects for future research.
