1. An air seeding boot used to deliver material such as seed, fertilizer, or chemicals to be deposited onto the soil prepared by a soil working tool, the boot being adapted to mount on a mounting shank together with a soil working tool and to be secured to the shank with at least one bolt also used to mount the soil working tool thereto in such a manner that the bolts used do not fasten across a part of the boot which is easily compressed, said boot comprising:

  • a front part for the purpose of deflecting the soil moved by the soil working tool away from the area where dispensed material will be deposited;

    a back part which diffuses and separates dispensed material into two portions and allows the material to be deposited on the soil prepared by the soil working tool in two rows generally separated and generally equal; and

    the two said parts mating with one another to form a hollow body having an opening on the top portion for receiving a material delivery conduit, and having two generally equal openings on the bottom portion of the hollow body, the openings being of generally oval shape inclined backward and upward from the lower portion of the hollow bodythe two said parts being directly and rigidly bolt-connectable to said shank by said working tool mounting bolt which bolt avoids passage through said hollow body.
