In recent years, modern agriculture has increasingly focused on using safer, longer-lasting, and eco-friendly crop protection products. One of the standout innovations gaining popularity is Capsule Suspension (CS) technology.

So, what exactly is CS? Why is it considered a breakthrough in crop protection? And what benefits does it offer to farmers? Let’s explore in detail.

As modern agriculture shifts toward safety, sustainability, and eco-friendliness, Bordeaux mixture (Boóc-đô) has gained renewed attention—especially in organic farming.

So why has this classic fungicide maintained an important role for over 140 years, and why is it accepted under strict organic standards like VietGAP, GlobalGAP, and EU Organic? Let’s find out.

BMC proudly stands as the first company in Vietnam to research and successfully produce CS (Capsule Suspension) formulation pesticides—one of the most advanced formulations in the global crop protection industry.

Bordeaux mixture – also known as Boóc-đô – is a classic fungicide originating from France, made from copper sulfate (CuSO₄) and hydrated lime (Ca(OH)₂). With its contact action, broad spectrum, and eco-friendly nature, Bordeaux mixture has long been applied in many crops.

But when it comes to long-term industrial crops like pepper, coffee, and rubber, is Bordeaux mixture really effective, and should it be applied? Let’s explore.

Bordeaux mixture (also known as Boóc-đô in Vietnamese) is one of the world’s first fungicides, discovered in the late 19th century and still widely used in agriculture today. Although it is a simple preparation of copper sulfate and lime, it effectively controls many serious fungal diseases in crops.

So, how exactly does Bordeaux mixture work? Why is it effective against fungi while still permitted in organic farming? Let’s explore.

Among the oldest and safest fungicides used in agriculture, the name “Bordeaux mixture” (also called Boóc-đô mixture in Vietnamese) holds a special place. It was the first chemical mixture ever used by humans to control plant diseases—and even today, Bordeaux mixture is still trusted in both organic and conventional farming

In the era of modern agriculture where food safety and consumer health are top priorities, the use of plant protection products (PPPs) must strictly comply with pre-harvest intervals (PHI) and maximum residue limits (MRL). So for Propiconazole—a widely used fungicide—what is the appropriate PHI? Does it leave harmful residues?

Let’s explore the detailed answers below.

Rice blast and grain discoloration (often linked to kernel smut or fungal/biotic infection) are two of the most dangerous diseases in rice cultivation, causing significant losses in both yield and grain quality. Among the current control solutions, Propiconazole is highly recommended by experts for its strong efficacy and broad-spectrum activity.

But how effective are Propiconazole-based fungicides in managing these diseases? And what should farmers be aware of when using them? Let’s dive into the details below.

Propiconazole is a triazole fungicide, well-known for its strong systemic activity, upward translocation, and broad-spectrum efficacy. While it is widely used in rice and vegetables, Propiconazole also proves effective on industrial crops such as black pepper, coffee, and rubber.

This article analyzes how Propiconazole works on each of these crops—from target diseases and usage to key technical notes.

Among the many active ingredients used in fungal disease management today, Propiconazole is consistently one of the most commonly applied across various crops. But what makes it so highly favored, and why does it appear in so many broad-spectrum fungicide formulations?

Let’s explore the scientific and practical reasons behind the popularity of Propiconazole.
