Abstract: A coated seed comprises a seed and a coating at least partially surrounding the seed. The coating comprises a fungicide, a micronutrient metal, and a chelating agent, the fungicide comprising copper (II) hydroxide, wherein the amount of copper (II) hydroxide is from about 0.05 mg/seed to about 0.21 mg/seed. A method for applying a seed treatment to a seed or a population of seeds comprises distributing on the surface of the seed or the population of seeds a seed treatment formulation comprising a fungicide, a micronutrient metal, and a chelating agent. The fungicide comprises copper (II) hydroxide in an amount ranging from about 2 wt. % to about 20 wt. % of the total seed treatment formulation.
