Abstract

Precision agriculture has generated new forms of agricultural production, especially due to the scarcity of essential resources for fertilization and field monitoring. In this sense, the objective was to determine the contributions of precision agriculture to the sustainable productivity of the agricultural sector. For this purpose, the PRISMA systematic review method was employed, utilizing the Web of Science and Scopus databases. The search period spanned from 2019 to 2024, with a total of 31 documents related to the topic of interest. These documents were analyzed using R – Studio, yielding an inertia of 1.44 for precision agriculture and 0.99 for sustainable productivity. In summary, precision agriculture provides significant contributions to the sustainable productivity of crops, including the sustainability of water resources, fertilizer management, sensor network structures, and precision in hydroponic cultivation.
