Abstract
In this study, we conducted a scoping review and bibliometric analysis to evaluate the
state-of-the-art regarding actual applications of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technologies to guide
precision agriculture (PA) practices within smallholder farms. UAVs have emerged as one of the most
promising tools to monitor crops and guide PA practices to improve agricultural productivity and
promote the sustainable and optimal use of critical resources. However, there is a need to understand
how and for what purposes these technologies are being applied within smallholder farms. Using
Biblioshiny and VOSviewer, 23 peer-reviewed articles from Scopus andWeb of Science were analyzed
to acquire a greater perspective on this emerging topical research focus area.
