The new product, under the umbrella name Acceleron, will contain the two fungicides fluopicolide – contained in the potato blight fungicide Infinito – and the strobilurin fluoxastrobin. Bayer intends to release an oilseed rape seed dressing in 2020 to coincide with other seed coatings being banned. The company said it would also be releasing a sunscreen that contains the same active ingredients as its oil rape seed, but will not use them on seeds for human consumption. Under the umbrella name Acceleron, the package will be launched as EU authorisations for thiram-based fungicides seed treatments cease after autumn 2019.
