Precision agriculture (PA), which uses satellite navigation, has emerged to help increase crop yields and improve efficiency. Despite the increase in the body of PA literature, little is known about PA in Palestine. This research aimed to analyze university students’ awareness, knowledge, and perceptions towards PA. An item-based questionnaire was designed and distributed online to agriculture college students in Palestine. It was found that, among students (n = 211), the majority had moderate, low, and very low level of knowledge and awareness (85%) of PA.

In addition, there was a significant difference between the five universities' students and study level; further research should focus on analyzing
