VÃ VÃ¡zquez The use of "drones" stands out in precision agriculture for the analysis of vegetation and soil indices, the present work contemplates a redesign, construction and implementation of a "drone" using computer tools based on software engineering and technologies of info-communications, which allows optimizing one of the existing platforms in the drone market (SKYWALKER (X8)) for the evaluation of vegetation indices, as estimators of changes in different types of vegetation cover in Pitahaya crops in the province del Guayas, also carry out precise monitoring of large extensions of crops, minimizing human presence, controlling soil conditions through special systems, such as hydration, temperature or plant growth rate, chlorophyll level, among others, and the appearance of plagues that could affect the Pitahaya crops located prematurely, as well as the bases for a neutrosophic control system in designing platforms by using simulators. For the neutrosophic control, neutrosophic uninorms were used for the aggregation of the measurement results by regions.
