In practice, many farmers often mix several products into one spray tank—pesticides, foliar fertilizers, bio-products, and mineral oils—to save labor and time. However, when using microencapsulated formulations (CS – Capsule Suspension), mixing is not as straightforward as with EC, SC, or WP formulations.

So, can CS formulations be mixed? If yes, how should they be mixed without damaging the capsules, reducing effectiveness, or even causing phytotoxicity (leaf burn)? Let’s break it down.

When entering a new crop season, choosing the right type of crop protection product (CPP) is a key factor that determines pest and disease control effectiveness, cost, and crop safety. However, with so many formulations available such as EC, SC, WP, or CS, which one should farmers pick?

Let’s compare these four common formulations in detail to find the best solution for different crops, climates, and farming goals.

The rainy season is always a big concern for farmers when applying crop protection products (CPPs):

• “If it rains after spraying, will the product wash off completely?”
• “Do I need to re-spray?”
• “Are CS (Capsule Suspension) formulations effective during the rainy season?”

Let’s explore how CS technology works against wash-off, so farmers can feel confident using it in practice.

In modern agriculture, CS (Capsule Suspension) technology is increasingly promoted for its slow-release properties and long-lasting effectiveness. However, what still makes many farmers hesitate is the price:

❓ “Are CS formulations expensive?”
❓ “Compared to regular formulations, are they worth it?”

The answer lies in real effectiveness, total investment cost, and long-term value. Let’s break it down below.

In recent years, CS (Capsule Suspension) formulations of crop protection products have attracted increasing attention from farmers thanks to their long-lasting effectiveness and slow-release properties. However, many still have concerns:

❓ “Is CS safe?”
❓ “Does it cause leaf burn or leave residues on crops?”

This article addresses those concerns, based on scientific evidence and practical experience from multiple farming regions.

In modern crop protection, CS (Capsule Suspension) formulations are being described as a “new revolution” thanks to their ability to release active ingredients slowly, extending effectiveness from 10 to 120 days after just one application. But is this really accurate, or just marketing hype?

Let’s break it down with scientific evidence and practical use cases below.

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.
