Abstract: In this work, an overview of literature associated with current information and communication technologies in agriculture within a window of 20 years using bibliometric tools enabled to detect of the structure and dynamics of scientific papers in the post-Soviet States. Five main areas of research in scientific papers have been identified: precision agriculture, remote sensing, GIS, digital agriculture and IoT. The paper shows the results of the analysis of articles and presents the current features and main trends in the development of research. We have identified three periods that reveal trends in the study of current ICT in agriculture. The first period represents the initial stage in the study of precision agriculture and its technologies, as well as the development of approaches to justify efficiency. The second period is characterized by active development of technologies for parallel driving, precise application of nutrients based on remote sensing data and the use of geoinformation systems, increased attention is paid to the training and retraining of specialists for the agriculture. The third period is characterized by a focus on the study and application of the Internet of Things, unmanned aerial vehicles and complexes, machine learning methods and, of course, an active discussion of digitalization, digital transformation, and socio-ecological and economic processes.
