Abstract: The process of seed dispersal considered the largest agricultural operations and the most widespread in its agricultural aviation aircraft in the United States, Canada and other countries. The sowing seeds wherewithal/ a method by Helicopter is optimal advantage and superior, especially in cases of small-scale seed dispersal, such as wheat, barley, rice, flax, sorghum. This method is also considered optimal when the desire for rapid agriculture to compensate for the delay in sowing date, as well as in agriculture in the uneven ground. Moreover, the seeding on the flat ground by aircraft has many advantages where they are scattering on the large areas speedy to avoid bad weather and get the best plant density gained from ground agriculture. The flow process of seeds from Helicopter and planted in processed soil for planting meticulously, as a result to equal of the grain weight with the absence of exotic materials. Once calibrated the device which responsible for the flow and the distribution of seeds in the Helicopter, It will function in the work is outweigh than any another unparalleled device, distinct in its accuracy and regularity, this is an excellent evidence as optimal methodological for the precision farming system. Now is available some sophisticated modern devices capable to scattering the seeds from the Helicopter in narrow lines, which adds to the process of seed dispersal by aircraft recipe great application. The current study provides a practical assessment in order to the testing efficiency of scattering seeds, foliar feeding and weed control process, using the Helicopter Mi-2, on the fields crops, at Egyptian lands belonging to Public Authority for Agricultural Reclamation at Al Sharqia, Gharbia and Beheira Governorates. The scientific assessment of Sowing the Seeds, foliar feeding and weed control operations, using the Helicopter Mi-2, on the fields crops, at various governorates.
