Abstract: The present invention relates to a sowing device having a frame with at least one rotatably mounted first roller with a substantially cylindrical surface, with the first roller being designed to be rolled over a ground surface and to work seeds into the ground. The sowing device is characterized in that at least some portions, but preferable the full circumference, of the cylindrical surface of the first roller has radial indentations and radial protrusions alternating in the circumferential direction, the radial indentations each ascending radially towards at least one radial protrusion, preferably towards both radial protrusions, by way of a radial transition region.
