Wheat waterlogging refers to the saturation of soil moisture,resulting in insufficient air,poor soil permeability,poor drainage,high surface water level and the damage to the normal growth and development of wheat,which has a great impact on wheat yield and quality.In this paper,the causes of waterlogging were analyzed from three aspects:water stress,gas stress and ionic stress.The effects of waterlogging on wheat growth were described from four aspects:root,leaf,yield and nutrient quality.Image processing techniques and crop models were used.The monitoring methods of waterlogging were summarized in three aspects of remote sensing technology.The suggestions for waterlogging prevention were provided from various aspects,and the future research on wheat waterlogging was prospected.In order to provide reference for wheat waterlogging warning,disaster reduction defense and production reduction assessment.
