Method and apparatus for airborne dissemination and implantation of seeds

An apparatus to deliver and implant a seed, comprising:

• a head having an aerodynamic hem i-ellipsoid shape for a predetermined soil penetrability, the head includes first and second segments, wherein the first segment has the hemi-ellipsoid shape with a first maximum diameter and a first height, where the first height is not less than the first maximum diameter, and the second segment has a frustoconical shape with a second maximum diameter and a second height, where the second height is not less than the first maximum diameter, and the head has a nose performance coefficient for a predetermined depth of penetration for a seed;
• a tail having a conical shape with a base, a tip, a tail height, and a tail diameter, the tail height is not less than the first maximum diameter;
• a body having a cylindrical shape and a body diameter, the body is disposed between and attached to the head and the tail, wherein said head and tail are at opposing ends, with the entirety of the cylindrical body positioned between said head and tail, the base of the tail is adjacent to the body and the tip is opposite to the base, where the head and tail are aligned along one axis, wherein the tail diameter is equal to or less than the body diameter;
• and
• at least one seed encapsulated in at least one of the head or the cylindrical body, wherein the apparatus has a center of mass that is adjacent the head and spaced from the tail such that the apparatus falls headfirst to the ground.
