Abstract
Agriculture catalyzes the economy in developing nations. Malaysian agriculture constitutes 4.06 million hectares, with 80% encompassing industrial crops and agro-food production, boosting the economy through implementing precision agriculture (PA). Precision agriculture gives minimal environmental implications by using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), improving sustainability, productivity, and crop production 30-fold instead of conventional methods. This study aims to review the UAV application based on technical requirements with insights into the potentiality of precision agriculture in UAV agriculture technologies, limitations, and solutions.
