Abstract

The present invention relates to a system for modifying existing sowing equipment comprising a plant propagation materials (K) reservoir, a separation device for singulating plant propagation materials (K), and an outlet for directing the singulated plant propagation materials (K) to the soil, comprising an application assembly (30) configured to be attachable to the outlet or the singulation device, for selectively applying an aliquot of a dressing composition to the separated plant propagation materials (K) wherein the application device (30) further comprises: i. a power supply connector, ii. a reservoir (18) for the fluidized dressing composition, all attachable to the sowing equipment; ill. a sensor array comprising at least one sensor (32, 33) for measuring the trajectory of the plant propagation materials while falling, iv. a controller (35) for calculating the trajectory from the data received from the sensor array; and for coordinating and applying the dressing composition; and v. an outlet device for dispensing an aliquot of the dressing composition selectively onto the plant propagation materials during free-falling.
