Abstract
Improved, micronutrient-supplemented polymeric seed coatings are provided which include at least one polyanionic polymer in combination with respective amounts of Zn, Mn, and Cu micronutrients. Preferably, the coatings comprise polyanionic polymers having a backbone comprising dicarboxylic repeat units with Zn, Mn, and Cu bound to the backbone. The most preferred polymers contain maleic and itaconic repeat units, optionally with sulfonate repeat units. The invention also provides a method of treating seeds using the coatings, and coated seed products.
