Rainy season – weeds surge, but herbicide easily… washes away!

Many sugarcane growers say:

"I sprayed herbicide, then it rained. The next day the weeds were as green as if I had never sprayed!"

This is common when herbicide is sprayed in the rainy season without proper care:

  • Rain washes the product away before it binds to the soil
  • On gently sloping fields, water carries the product elsewhere
  • Without a sticker adjuvant, the product washes off faster

Consequences of herbicide wash-off

✅ In the rainy season, 60% of a product's performance depends on how it is used – not only on product quality

✅ Solution: Combine Xinron 800WG + Viet-up 90

Xinron 800WG is a strong herbicide – specifically for sugarcane fields

But to reduce wash-off in the rainy season → it should be combined with a sticker

Viet-up 90 is a new-generation sticker–penetrant adjuvant that helps:

  • Form a protective film of product on the soil surface
  • Keep the product from being carried away by rain
  • Penetrate the soil evenly – for weed control down to the roots

Correct mixing in the rainy season

Advantages of the right rainy-season technique

Thorough weed control – even with light rain afterwards

The product adheres well – no need to re-spray

Young cane: low risk of injury when used as directed – clean fields, faster growth
