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.

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.

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 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.
