THE USE OF DRONES IN PRECISION AGRICULTURE: A REVIEW

Abstract

The use of drones in precision agriculture has become a revolutionary tool in the agricultural sector, due to its ability to optimize processes, increase productivity, and reduce costs, while promoting more sustainable practices in the field. Given this scenario, this article aims to describe important aspects in the use of drones in precision agriculture. To achieve the proposed objective, a bibliographic survey was carried out, searching, through the CAPES and Scielo journals, articles published in the last 5 years, whose theme was the use of drones in precision agriculture. From the results, it is evident that the use of drones in precision agriculture is promising, with increasingly larger projections in Brazilian crops. This result reflects important aspects among the benefits of this resource, which is the reduction of time and costs for the producer, which, consequently, increases crop productivity.
