This was done as follows. A crop and its hydraulic network were characterized and represented on a graph. The adjacency matrix was obtained and was transformed into a node and time matrix to be posed as the network model. A program with two functions that used the model found in conjunction with the cuckoo search algorithm was elaborated in order to find a distribution and its corresponding mistake in an irrigation and fertigation sheet. The found distribution was compared with another empirically made distribution. As a result, an efficient model which allows exemplifying the parameters of the hydraulic network, an optimal distribution and a solution to the problem of the irrigation and fertigation programming distribution was obtained.
