The invention discloses a method for metering granular material such as seeds, fertiliser or the like. In the method, the granular material, which is carried, and fed, by an air stream (26), is directed, through a feed line (38), into a metering subassembly (40) and, there, is guided over an approximately arcuate path and directed tangentially into an exit line (44) adjoining the metering subassembly (40). The air stream (46), which is guided through the exit line (44) and carries, and conveys, the granular material, which is fed approximately equidistantly, is conveyed and/or accelerated within the metering subassembly (40) by means of at least one conveying or lamellar disc (42) which rotates approximately concentrically within the metering subassembly (40) and is driven at a regulatable speed by electromotive means. The drive speed is increased or reduced on the basis of a torque detected for the electromotive drive (48) of the at least one rotating conveying or lamellar disc (42).
