AGRICULTURA DE PRECISÃO NA CULTURA DA SOJA: impactos na redução de custos e no aumento da eficiência produtiva com o uso de drones

Abstract

Precision Agriculture has expanded its application in soybean cultivation, especially with the use of drones in agricultural monitoring and management. This study carried out a literature review with a qualitative approach based on scientific publications published between 2015 and 2025, seeking to analyze the applications of drones in soybean farming and their impacts on operating costs and production efficiency. The analyzed works relate the use of these technologies to phytosanitary monitoring, the identification of planting failures, the monitoring of vegetative development and localized spraying. Part of the studies also points to a reduction in the waste of inputs and greater detail of the information obtained in the field through aerial images and georeferenced data. The results observed in the literature indicate an increase in the use of drones in Precision Agriculture applied to soybeans, especially in activities related to crop monitoring and the management of agricultural operations.
