Abstract: A device (1) for production of seedlings from seeds comprises a drum (3), with perforated walling, rotatable about the drum axis (4), disposed substantially horizontally, borne in a housing (2). In this drum (3) seeds are able to be filled, which seeds are able to be immersed in a water bath (5) together with the drum (3). For this purpose, the drum (3) rotates, whereupon the seeds and the seedlings sprouting therefrom are optimally turned and dispersed. The drum (3) is mounted on a support, which, along guide means fixed to the housing, is lowerable into the water bath (5) and liftable out of the same again by drive means. The drum (3) is thereby partly submerged in the water bath (5) in the lower position, whereas it is completely lifted out of the water bath (5) in the raised position. An optimal wetting and subsequent drying of the seeds is thus obtained in turn.
