PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a general purpose type dibbling mechanism which is used in a sowing machine for direct sowing, has a mechanism for accurately dibbling, and can easily be built in an existing sowing machine. SOLUTION: This general purpose type dibbling mechanism, comprising many seed containers 1 disposed in parallel on the frame of the sowing machine for direct sowing, hoppers 2 for loading the seed containers, seed paying-out mechanisms 3 disposes in the bottom portions of the hoppers, paying-out chutes 4 disposed on the exits of the seed-delivering mechanisms, and dibbling chutes 6 which are connected to the seed paying-out chutes and whose sowing ports are disposed at places near to the ground surface through support arms, characterized in that each of the dibbling chutes comprise a vertical cylinder 7 for guiding seeds dropped the paying-out chute and a cylindrical outer valve 8 integrated with the vertical cylinder 7 in the axial direction orthogonal to the vertical cylinder, and characterized by disposing a cylindrical inner valve in the outer valve in a slidably rotatable state so that the rotary valve is operated interlockingly of the outer valve with the inner valve.
