A seed tape (1)including successively arrangedgerminating units (1a, 1b, 1c).The seed tape includes at leastone carrier strip (3) as well asat least one auxiliary layer (5)arranged thereon and madeof a biodegradable, flexible,non-woven, film-like material.Locally, the auxiliary layer (5)can be interrupted over a shortdistance along the seed tape (1).Each germinating unit (1a, 1b,1c) includes a mixture (6) ofgranulated carrier, at least onegranulated additive and optionallyan adjuvant in addition to one ormore seeds (7). This mixture (6)is kept together to form at least onecore portion (8) in the germinatingunit. The core portion (8) includeslocally adhered bicomponent fibres(18) of one or more thermoplasticmaterials which form a coherentopen network (8a) for keeping thegranules (6a) of the mixture (5) andpossibly also one or more seeds (7)together. In this manner it is possible in a very simple and reliable mannerto retain the carrier, the additive and the adjuvant, if any.
