Deltapine Introduces Acceleron Seed Treatments
February 15, 2011 Cotton farmers looking to get their Deltapine brand varieties off the best start possible in 2011 are urged to book their seed treated with Acceleron seed treatment products.
“Acceleron seed treatment products help get Deltapine varieties off to a fast start and can help set the stage for a successful finish by protecting seedlings from early-season disease and insect pressure and by promoting overall plant health,” said Tom Schaefer, Monsanto’s marketing lead for Acceleron seed treatment products. “These are important for maximizing yield potential in Deltapine Genuity Bollgard II with Roundup Ready Flex. For 2011, we strongly recommend farmers book their Deltapine seed treated with Acceleron seed treatment products.”
Being offered as additional protection in 2011 to the improved base fungicide already applied to Deltapine cottonseed, Acceleron cotton seed treatment products are exclusive to Deltapine and are available in two different product options. Acceleron insecticide seed treatment products for cotton can provide insect protection and, through the use of a doubled rate of the fungicide pyraclostrobin, improved plant health through more rapid and increased emergence of seedlings under certain colder conditions. Additionally, Acceleron nematicide and insecticide seed treatment products for cotton offer the same benefits and can also provide protection from nematodes.
“It has done an outstanding job for us,” said Tim Jamerson, a cotton farmer in Hornersville, MO. “I am so confident in it that I have booked all of my cottonseed in 2011 treated with the Acceleron nematicide and insecticide seed treatment products.”
