Cup plant, a perennial composite from North America, has been found as a promising plant species in search for alternative biogas substrates. It is common to establish cup plant by the transplanting method which is time consuming and expensive. Sowing of cup plant might cause a significant reduction of the process costs, but the bulky seed complicates singling of the grains and due to the low germination power a precise seed cover is required. The aim of the experiments was to adjust an ordinary precision seeder to establish the cup plant without major modifications of the technique of the precision seeder.
