A seed coating agent for preventing and treating a wheat rot disease is provided. The seed coating agent includes a fungicide and a seed priming and elicitor. The fungicide includes silthiopham and coumoxystrobin. The seed priming and elicitor includes salicylic acid and compound sodium nitrophenolate. The weight percentage of each components is 1%-60% of the fungicide, 0.0005%-0.05% of salicylic acid, and 0.001%-0.1% of compound sodium nitrophenolate. The seed coating agent has a good effect of promoting seed germination and strengthening seedlings on wheat seeds. Both silthiopham and coumoxystrobin are of low toxicity, and are safe for humans, animals, beneficial organisms, and the environment. It can delay the pathogens resistance to a single agent
