ABSTRACT:
A method of diverting from a supply of grains a plurality of parallel intermittent single flows of grains, especially for sowing one seed in each one of a number of plant growing pots. The method comprises the steps of causing the grains of the supply to move in a definite direction on a plane support by utilizing vibration feed, and dividing the resulting wide grain flow into a plurality of parallel single-row flows by guiding said wide grain flow into a corresponding number of grain paths connected to said plane. For this purpose each of said grain paths is designed so as to be able to convey only a single row of grains. Further, each grain path cooperates with one grain-carrying cavity for transferring the grains one by one to said cavity which rotates about an axle and discharges the grains at predetermined time intervals in accurately determined positions after rotation through a certain angle.
