Using technology in agriculture should help increase production and reduce the risks suffered by the farmer when carrying out the different processes such as the planting of many crops that is done manually by dispersing the seed by hand. When carrying out the process of sowing a crop by dispersing its seed by hand, the farmer wastes time, can suffer injuries and even fractures when traveling the field to be sown and also, the farmer being exposed to solar radiation for a long time , you are at risk for skin cancer. Our project seeks to solve the three points mentioned above and contribute through the use of an unmanned aerial device and the mathematical modeling of the trajectories to be followed by the device, to carry out the adequate distribution of the seed on the surface to be sown and thus the farmer increase his production and reduce the factors that generate losses. Tests carried out indicate that our drone is fully functional and meets the objectives set out in the project, helping to provide great help in the development of the farmer's activity in sowing by seed dispersal of any crop.
