ABSTRACT

The modification of a garden single-seed drill for sowing in troughs is presented in this paper. Necessary construction changes made to adapt the driving of the tractor with the drill alongside the troughs with sowing sections working in the troughs are described. Switching of the modified drill from work in troughs to sowing under field conditions requires a short period of time. Single-seed sowing of Scots pine was carried out, and it was compared with hand sowing. Also the evaluation of sowing and morphological characteristics of seedlings was made.

Key words: single-seed sowing, production of seedlings in troughs, single-seed drill.
