dc.descriptionPrecision agriculture optimizes agricultural practices by applying inputs at the right time and place, enhancing productivity and sustainability. This study compared the costs, time requirements, and water efficiency of using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) versus the traditional manual backpack sprayer method on a 5-hectare coffee farm in Caconde, São Paulo, Brazil. Results showed that UAV application reduced operational costs by 21.8% (R$750 vs. R$960), water consumption by 96% (50 liters vs. 1,250 liters), and application time by 75% (two hours vs. eight hours). Sensitivity analysis confirmed the cost-effectiveness of UAV method under varying labor costs. This study underscores the economic and environmental advantages of UAV spraying and highlights its potential to address labor shortages and promote sustainable precision farming.
