- Ensures healthy, vigorous seed.
- Protects seed and young seedlings to ensure optimum plant stand.
- Ensures sound and strong root development from an early stage to enhance the efficacy of water and fertilizer usage.
- Early stimulation of growth promotes vigour of crop which has a significant effect on yield.
- Protects against pests and pathogens, such as cob and tassel smut, maize stripe disease, etc. that can affect plants later in the season.
- Cost-effective with a low impact on the environment.
- Target specific and protects where it is most needed, namely, directly in the seed and seedling.
- Offers timeous control when needed most.
- Seed treatments marketed by companies such as BAYER are high quality. Only the best products are used, including polymers, which ensure that active ingredients bind to the seed, where they remain, free of dust and without rubbing off. In this way, the flow of the seed is also improved.
Technology for your benefit!
For over a decade, our agronomists have been testing products from leading companies across the world to ensure that only the best and most suitable seed treatment products are used in the Acceleron® seed treatment package. Use Acceleron® treated seed to enhance yield and reduce environmental stress. As a leading global provider of technology-based tools and agricultural products that improve farm productivity and food quality, we are committed to deliver solutions for the sustainable creation of ever-increasing demands to produce more with less. To help you maximise the performance potential of your seed from the start use Acceleron® treated seed. These seed treatment packages, available exclusively on DEKALB® hybrids, protect seed against a variety of early-season nematodes, insects, soil and seed-borne diseases and maximise early-season plant stand, uniformity, and vigour for higher yield potential. Acceleron® has been designed to complement, protect, and enhance Bayer’s DEKALB® commercial hybrids from the outset through the best combination and performance of broad-spectrum insecticides, fungicides and nematicides under one umbrella. In addition, each seed is coated with a quality polymer to minimise dust and facilitate safe storage.
