As part of its seed treatment platform announced earlier this year, Monsanto Company is launching Acceleron brand seed treatment, which are designed to help maximize crop performance potential beginning at planting. Acceleron’s new seed performance technologies are designed to enhance the company’s elite genetics and trait technologies, reported Monsanto. Acceleron will represent a wide range of evolving seed performance technologies.?
The company’s global seed treatment platform complements the company’s seed and trait strategy, as well as its investments in breeding and biotechnology, said Tom Schaefer, seed treatment marketing lead. The platform focuses on identifying new proprietary seed-based technologies that can be launched in parallel with soybean, corn, and cotton products. The Acceleron brand for these treatments will be introduced to the market on Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybeans for the 2009 season, when Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybeans are made available for commercial release and use. Acceleron will be available in SmartStax corn in 2010, Deltapine cotton in 2011, and in other crops in coming seasons.
