<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a seed coating agent attaining coating that causes only a small amount of iron powder fall off not only during a sowing process but also during a transportation process, and to provide seeds coated with the seed coating agent. <P>SOLUTION: The seed coating agent used for coating the surfaces of seeds contains iron powder and a binding material. The iron powder, the percentage by mass of iron powder particles having a particle size smaller than or equal to 63 μm to the total mass of the iron powder is from 0 to 75% inclusive, the percentage by mass of iron powder particles having a particle size larger than 63 μm and smaller than or equal to 150 μm to the total mass of the iron powder is from 25 to 100% inclusive, and the percentage by mass of iron powder particles having a particle size larger than 150 μm to the total mass of the iron powder is from 0 to 50% inclusive. The average particle size of the binding material is between 1 and 150 μm. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
