Abstract

A sowing device for discharging and treating discharged plant propagation materials during their fall onto an underlying agricultural surface (B), having a reservoir container (10) for the plant materials, having a separating device (20) which is configured to separate plant materials (K) fed from the reservoir container and to output them individually, and having an application device (30) to apply a compound onto the separated plant materials from a cartridge assembly comprising one or more cartridges that each are separate from the reservoir container in the sowing device, wherein the application device applies the dressing from the one or more cartridges to the separated plant materials after they leave the separating device while the separated plant materials fall freely on toward the underlying agricultural surface wherein the device and the one or more cartridges are configured to allow repeated removal from the device, and optionally, refilling with the dressing composition and replacing in the device, with minimal operator interaction.
