FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: seeding of green manure crop is carried out without additional tillage during mechanical or manual harvesting of potatoes. On mechanical harvesting potatoes 55-60% of seeds are gotten in ridges and 40-45% of seeds are gotten in hollows between ridges on the unharvested slots with potatoes. On harvesting manually 70-75% of seeds are gotten in ridges and 25-30% of seeds - in hollows. The method is executed by a device containing a tanker for seeds, reel dosing units, ventilator with suction pipe and forcing air and flexible seed lines. The reel dosing units are divided by space sleeves with the width equalled with of the reel units, and partially covered with regulating figured gate valve. Air transport of seeds from each dosing reel to flexible air and seed lines is carried out through rectangular slots with baffles. The baffles are fixed in suction pipe of the ventilator as well as on the bottom of the ventilator hood.

EFFECT: uniform distribution of seeds and increase in yield of green mass.
