Abstract
A device comprising a hopper forming a storage space, and at least one conveyor device configured for placing a row of the planting material. The conveyor device comprises at least one carrier element rotating in operation in a direction of rotation and about a deflection axis, and a plurality of conveying elements arranged on the carrier element, which, in operation, each run through the storage space for receiving a planting material component being in a first position relative to the carrier element, and through a dispensing area for dispensing the planting material component. At least a first one of the conveying elements, particularly at least half of the conveying elements, is mounted so as to be movable relative to the carrier element from the first position into a second position at least proportionally parallel to the deflection axis.
