| Abstract | This article discusses the key research areas in precision farming and precision agriculture. The bibliographic method is used as a research tool. The average level of precision farming technologies in the USA is 30-50%, in the Russian Federation 10%. Despite the fact that precision agriculture technologies are aimed primarily at reducing costs by increasing the intensity of production and the level of resource output, the studies show that the resource intensity of agricultural production in Russia is still too high to speak about success in resource conservation. The 2014-2018 articles contents in the bibliographic database Web of Science are analyzed, totaling 4662 articles. In the most highly cited articles native English speakers (USA, UK, Australia) often use the term "precision farming", while other countries scientists (China, India, EU, Iran, etc.) use the term "precision agriculture". The considerable leaders in the total number of publications on the subject are countries with traditionally developed agriculture, such as the USA (20.0% of the number of articles reviewed), Brazil (8.8%), China (17.5%), and Spain (7.3%). The leader among scientific journals with publications on the problem is "Computers and electronics in agriculture"; it has 4.9% of all articles. The leading research organizations include the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Chinese academy of Sciences, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas CSIC (Spain). The average level of introduction of precision farming technologies in the USA is estimated at 30-50%, while at large farms the level of technology use is twice the small ones. Its most common elements are: a computer with high-speed Internet access, an analysis of soil samples (98%); yield maps, yield monitors, GPS navigation systems (about 80%); differential fertilization technologies (60%); satellite images and a vegetative index analysis - (no more than 30%) of farmers. All the listed technologies should be developed intensively both in the world and in Russia, with the increased investments in precision agriculture research. |
