Wrongly sprayed herbicide, 1.3 hectares of rice of a household in Nam Sach died

Mr. Thong had to go ask for young rice from other fields to plant on his field.

Mr. Thong's family planted 1.7 hectares of rice. After pruning and spreading fertilizer, he saw that the field had a lot of grass, so he went to the local pesticide store to buy herbicide to spray. Because he still had the herbicide he had bought earlier at home, Mr. Thong only bought enough for 7 sprayers, equivalent to 1.3 hectares. He sprayed the remaining 4 hectares with about 2 tanks of the old herbicide. After a while, the 1.3 hectares of rice that had been sprayed with the newly purchased herbicide were burnt yellow. The rice area sprayed with the old herbicide was still safe.

The herbicide Mr. Thong used to spray on his rice field

The reason was that the entire 1.3 hectares of rice died because he mistakenly sprayed a non-selective herbicide, Trau Vang brand, 100ml volume, imported and distributed by Kona Crop Science Company Limited ( Ho Chi Minh City).

Women's Union members of Doan Ket village help Mr. Thong's family to compensate for the dead rice area.

Mr. Thong’s family is in a difficult situation. His wife is in the hospital, so relatives, members of the intergenerational club, and women’s association of Doan Ket village have trimmed the young rice in their field to help his family make up for it.

Ms. Vu Thi Chanh, Director of the Agricultural Service Center of Nam Sach District, said that this is a non-selective herbicide (it can kill weeds but can also harm plants). Herbicides for spraying on rice and crops must be selective. Before spraying, farmers need to read the instructions carefully and follow the 4 right principles (right time, right medicine, right dosage and right technique).
