Abstract
Abstract ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The present invention provides a method of sowing seeds in an area of ground which comprises passing a seeding device over said ground and discharging said seeds from said device to form said seed rows and simultaneously therewith separately discharging fertilizer for each seed row from said seeding device in at least one path essentially parallel to and laterally spaced from each seed row. The invention also includes a seeding device adapted to discharge seeds in a plurality of rows in an area of ground a simultaneously discharge fertilizer therefor, the improvement in which said device is adapted to discharge said fertilizer in at least one path essentially parallel to and laterally spaced from each seed row.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
88 words
A method of sowing seeds in rows in an area of ground which comprises discharging seeds through an outlet of a seed line onto said ground to form said seed rows and simultaneously therewith separately discharging fertilizer from a fertilizer line onto the top of an inverted v-shaped deflector plate placed over said outlet such that said fertilizer is deflected laterally and scattered to both sides of each said seed row and so as not to be mixed with said seeds which are protected therefrom by said plate.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
88 words
A method of sowing seeds in rows in an area of ground which comprises discharging seeds through an outlet of a seed line onto said ground to form said seed rows and simultaneously therewith separately discharging fertilizer from a fertilizer line onto the top of an inverted v-shaped deflector plate placed over said outlet such that said fertilizer is deflected laterally and scattered to both sides of each said seed row and so as not to be mixed with said seeds which are protected therefrom by said plate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, in which the ferti-lizer and seeds are discharged from at least one seed broadcasting head of said device.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, in which the seeds and fertilizer are simultaneously discharged from a plurality of laterally spaced seed broadcasting heads.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
A method as claimed in claim 3 in which said seeds and fertilizer are fed from separate sources through separate distribution systems to said seed broadcasting heads.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
33 words
A method as claimed in claim 4, in which the seeds and fertilizer are fed from said separate sources to said seed broadcasting heads through said distribution systems by means of compressed air.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
98 words
A seeding device adapted to discharge seeds in a plurality of rows in an area of ground and simultaneously dis-charge fertilizer therefor, comprising a seed line having an outlet for discharging said seeds onto said ground to form said rows, an inverted v-shaped deflector plate over said seed outlet, and a fertilizer line arranged to discharge fertilizer onto the top of said deflector plate such that said fertilizer is deflected later-ally and scattered to both sides of each said seed row and so as not to be mixed with said seeds which are protected therefrom by said plate.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
98 words
A seeding device adapted to discharge seeds in a plurality of rows in an area of ground and simultaneously dis-charge fertilizer therefor, comprising a seed line having an outlet for discharging said seeds onto said ground to form said rows, an inverted v-shaped deflector plate over said seed outlet, and a fertilizer line arranged to discharge fertilizer onto the top of said deflector plate such that said fertilizer is deflected later-ally and scattered to both sides of each said seed row and so as not to be mixed with said seeds which are protected therefrom by said plate.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
23 words
A device as claimed in claim 6 which is adapted to discharge the seeds and fertilizer from at least one seed broad-casting head.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
19 words
A device as claimed in claim 7, in which there are a plurality of laterally spaced seed broadcasting heads.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
30 words
A device as claimed in claim 8, in which the fertil-izer and seeds are arranged to be fed to each seed broadcasting head from separate containers through separate distribution systems.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
27 words
A device as claimed in claim 9 including means for feeding the fertilizer and seeds through said distribution sys-tems by means of compressed air to said heads.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
25 words
A device as claimed in claim 6 which is mounted on tillage equipment, said seed broadcasting heads comprising boots or spouts adjacent ground tillage components.
