Look up the national lists of plant protection products (thuốc bảo vệ thực vật) of Vietnam: the permitted list of Thông tư 75/2025/TT-BNNMT (in force from 10/2/2026) as amended by Thông tư 28/2026/TT-BNNMT (from 15/8/2026), and the list of 31 banned active ingredients. About 6,800 trade name × formulation rows with active ingredient, category (insecticide, fungicide, herbicide, rodenticide, growth regulator, molluscicide, termiticide…), the pests and crops registered (parsed into targets), the registrant, and which circular lists or amended it.

Search with q (trade name, ingredient, pest, crop or registrant, accent-insensitive), or combine trade, ingredient, crop, pest, registrant, category, status. With crop and pest together, both must be named in the same registration (e.g. nhện đỏ on sầu riêng). action=ingredient tells whether an active ingredient (or mixture) is permitted, phased out (carbosulfan, benfuracarb under Điều 2 TT 75/2025), removed earlier (glyphosate, paraquat, 2,4-D, chlorpyrifos ethyl, fipronil) or banned; action=banned lists Phụ lục II.

The data are rebuilt weekly from the signed PDFs published by the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment; the build checks the counts stated in each circular. It is a lookup aid: always follow the product label (dose, pre-harvest interval) and the official text.

FAQ

Which circulars are used?

Thông tư 75/2025/TT-BNNMT (permitted and banned lists, from 10/2/2026) with the changes of Thông tư 28/2026/TT-BNNMT (from 15/8/2026): registrant and ingredient changes, 5 withdrawals and 348 new trade names.

Is there a restricted list?

The current circular has only a permitted and a banned list. Products of carbosulfan and benfuracarb are shown as restricted: they may be traded and used only until 10/2/2028 and 10/2/2027.

Why is glyphosate not in the banned list?

Glyphosate, paraquat and 2,4-D were removed from the permitted list by earlier decisions, so they may not be sold or used although they are not in Phụ lục II; action=ingredient returns status removed with the decision.
