Systematic literature review of implementations of precision agriculture
2020
Abstract Agriculture production highly depends on water and soil factors which increasingly need to be utilized efficiently. Precision agriculture, through the set of information technologies that it uses, allows to effectively manage these resources. This work aims to gather the existing knowledge on technologies used in precision agriculture and ways to discern the most appropriate one for different contexts in agricultural processes. A systematic literature review is performed to identify precision agriculture implementations and to answer questions such as the type of technologies used, criteria for their comparison and selection, and the existence of frameworks that help to decide what technologies to implement. A total of 3,949 publications were reviewed, of which 259 addressed the posed research questions. The findings are that remote sensors are the most used technology, the required knowledge is an important criterion for deciding to implement precision agriculture, and no framework was found that guides its implementation.
