SEED COATING AGENT AND SEEDS COATED WITH SEED COATING AGENT

摘要

A seed coating agent used for coating the surfaces of seeds contains iron powder and a binding material. In said iron powder, the percentage by mass of iron powder particles having a particle size of 45 µm or smaller is greater than 85%. The average particle size of said binding material is between 1 and 150 µm. Thus, it is possible to obtain a seed coating agent capable of achieve a coating that causes only a small amount of iron powder to fall off not only during the seeding process but also during the transportation process, and to obtain seeds coated with said seed coating agent.
