In a sowing method and a corresponding sowing device for discharging granular seed onto an underlying surface for seed, seeds (K) which are present in a reservoir container (10) are removed from the reservoir container and separated by means of a separating device (20) and successively allowed to fall onto the underlying surface (B) for seed. After the separated seeds (K) leave the separating device (20) seed dressing is applied to them by means of an application device (30) during their falling movement onto the underlying surface (B) for seed.
