Abstract: Precision agriculture has emerged as a key strategy to optimize agricultural production through the efficient use of inputs and the integration of technologies such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing, and geostatistical analysis. This integrative literature review compiles the main advancements achieved in the Chontalpa region of Tabasco, Mexico, over the past ten years, with an emphasis on tropical crops such as sugarcane, cacao, rice, and Persian lime. The reviewed studies highlight the application of remote sensors, drones, and geostatistical interpolation to characterize the spatial variability of soils and to design site-specific agronomic strategies. Fertility maps, site-specific fertilization recommendations, and yield prediction models have been developed using Sentinel-2 satellite imagery and machine learning algorithms such as random forest. Key achievements include agroecological zoning based on the physicochemical properties of soils, remote estimation of juice content and biomass in sugarcane, and the creation of fertilizer dosage maps for citrus crops according to soil type. However, significant challenges were also identified, such as the lack of continuity in institutional projects, economic constraints for small-scale producers, limited interinstitutional collaboration, and the scarce application of artificial intelligence at the local level. It is concluded that precision agriculture in Chontalpa has demonstrated high potential to improve agricultural productivity and sustainability, although greater technological integration, access to open data, and the development of decision-support systems adapted to the regional context are still needed. Future studies should focus on the use of multitemporal data, artificial intelligence, and accessible technologies to expand the impact of these tools in Tabasco's agriculture.
