Acceleron

Because we understand that you rely on us to provide technology-based solutions and agricultural crop protection products to maximise your farm productivity and the quality of the crop that you produce, we have worked tirelessly to deliver solutions to address your needs. Acceleron^® has been designed to complement, protect, and enhance Bayer’s DEKALB^® hybrids from the onset through the application of a combination of broad-spectrum insecticide, fungicide, nematicide and a new biological product, under one seed treatment umbrella. In addition, each seed is coated with a quality polymer to minimise dust and facilitate safe storage.

The Acceleron^® 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 establishment, uniformity and vigour to ensure the best chance for a good crop.
