Abstract: 【Objective】To explore the current research status and progress of hyperspectral technology in horticulture by quantitatively analyzing the research literature on hyperspectral technology in horticulture. 【Methods】Based on the Chinese literature from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure（CNKI）,bibliometric method and CiteSpace 5.8.R3 visualization software were used to sort out the literature on hyperspectral technology in horticulture. The quantity of publications,the distribution of research topics,journal sources,funding distributions,the distribution of authors and institutions over the years were analyzed.【Results】From January 2005 to April 2022 a total of 696 Chinese literature related to the research of hyperspectral technology in horticulture were sorted out. The annual number of publications climbed year by year over the time period,with a sharp increase from 2012 to 2016. With 79 in total,2021 had the highest number of publications. The high frequency subject headings mainly included hyperspectral,hyperspectral imaging technology,non-destructive testing,chlorophyll content and hyperspectral imaging,etc. The National Natural Science Foundation provided the most funding for the published papers. Professor HE Yong from Zhejiang University had the most number of publications and the journal Spectroscopy and Spectral Analysis had the most number of papers published in the field.【Conclusion】In recent years,hyperspectral technology has been applied more and more in horticulture. The research depth and breadth have continuously expanded,and the research level greatly improved.
