This survey explores recent advances in addressing class imbalance issues for developing machine learning models in precision agriculture, with a focus on techniques used for plant disease detection, soil management, and crop classification. We examine the impact of class imbalance on agricultural data and evaluate various resampling methods, such as oversampling and undersampling, as well as algorithm-level approaches, to mitigate this challenge. The paper also highlights the importance of evaluation metrics, including F1-score, G-mean, and MCC, in assessing the performance of machine learning models under imbalanced conditions. Additionally, the review provides an in-depth analysis of emerging trends in the use of generative models, like GANs and VAEs, for data augmentation in agricultural applications. Despite the significant progress, challenges such as noisy data, incomplete datasets, and lack of publicly available datasets remain. This survey concludes with recommendations for future research directions, including the need for robust methods that can handle high-dimensional agricultural data effectively.
