FIELD: agriculture.SUBSTANCE: invention relates to agriculture and can be used for sowing cereal crops. The method consists in the fact that sowing of spring and winter crops or perennial grass is carried out with spacing of 12.5 … 20 cm in one band with seeds of one culture, or a mixture of seed crops, by one band or row with seeds of winter crops or perennial grasses, or unsown. Sowing is carried out with width bands of not less than 5 cm and not more than half of the spacing between rows, with a gap between the bands of no mote than 10 cm, or in a row with the spacing between rows of 20…23 cm and with a spacing between bands of 20…30 cm. The device for planting crops contains the capacity for seeding material with two compartments and two shafts with sowing machines, general lead-in devices, openers connected by the seed-pipes. At that on one shaft universal machines for sowing of grain crops and perennial grasses are mounted. The openers are mounted on leashes, pivotally attached to the frame and spring-loaded to the soil. Openers for seeding in the band of width of not more than half of the spacing between rows are set with the spacing of 12.5, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and, respectively, with a bandwidth of 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 cm. Openers for sowing in the band can also be set by one through an opener for the row, or narrowband or narrow-row sowing when the spacing between rows 20, 21, 22, 23 cm of bandwidth of at least 10, 12, 13, 14 cm, respectively.EFFECT: use of the invention enables to reduce the debris of fields without herbicides, to accelerate ripening of bread crops, to increase resistance of spikes to drowning, crop yield and grain quality.7 cl, 5 dwgИзобретение относится к области сельского хозяйства и может быть использовано для посева зерновых культур.
