• Abstract: Brazil, as one of the world's main citrus producers, faces a growing need for advanced instruments for agricultural monitoring of productive areas. The agricultural dynamics associated with this crop is growing, evidenced by the decrease in production in certain regions. One of the factors that contribute to this reduction is the emergence of diseases in citrus farming, which increases production costs and, consequently, the final value of the fruit for the consumer. With the advancement of digital technologies, remote sensing has emerged as a fundamental tool in monitoring pests that affect citrus production. In this way, remote sensing allows early detection of diseases and pests, enabling more effective and precise interventions, thus reducing damage and losses in production. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate the phenomenon of precision agriculture both in Brazil and globally, with a specific focus on its application in citrus farming. This work seeks to understand the emergence, composition, applications and practical viability of precision agriculture, aiming to promote more sustainable, productive and safe agriculture. By addressing these aspects, it is expected to provide a comprehensive and detailed view on how this technology can transform agricultural practice, especially in citrus cultivation, and contribute to sustainability and efficiency in the sector.
