Weeds are always a concern for farmers in every rice crop. Weeds not only compete for nutrients, water, and light but also provide shelter, attracting many harmful pests and diseases that spread to rice fields.

In addition to crop rotation measures and the use of pre-emergence herbicides, more than 90% of rice farmers must use post-emergence herbicides at the rice stage from 5 to 15 days after sowing. But the problem is that there is no type of post-emergence herbicide that can be sprayed once to kill all grass groups (dong luc, scurvy, phoenix tail, saltwater grass, etc.) and can be used on the field. all rice varieties.

After participating in the Council Complete 300SC trial on 2 hectares of his rice field in the winter-spring crop of 2022, Mr. Pham Van Hien in Chin Ghi hamlet, Ngoc Hoa commune, Giong Rieng district, Kien Giang province shared that his fields often produce rice. Currently there is a lot of phoenix and cassava grass, every crop has to be sprayed twice with post-emergence herbicide to kill all the grass because rice grass is very difficult to treat. But with Council Complete 300SC, he only sprays once when the rice has been sown for 7-9 days, when the grass has about 2-3 leaves.

“I spray, for one hectare there are only 10 25-liter spray cans. Compared to before, I had to spray 15 25-liter cans. In the immediate future, I have reduced the spraying fee for 5 cans by 100,000 VND/ha. After spraying, I keep the water continuously at 2-3cm for about 4-5 days and then I see that the grass is almost 100% dead. Even in the mound where I have planted a tree to make a mark to evaluate, I still see the grass die. Completely. The stems and leaves of dead grass become soft and soft. The rice leaves do not turn red or lose strength. I found the effect to be convenient, effortless and not harmful to the rice, so I continued to use Council Complete. until now,” Mr. Hien said.
