The literature indicates that precision technologies achieve average input savings of 8–20% and yield increases of 2–6%, while reported return on investment (ROI) values typically range between 5% and 15%.
Abstract
Precision agriculture has become a major direction of agricultural technological development in recent decades, addressing efficiency, environmental, and economic challenges simultaneously. Input optimization based on site-specific data collection—particularly variable-rate nutrient application, precision irrigation systems, and targeted crop protection—has been shown to generate measurable cost and resource savings.
