Accordingly, the Department is implementing 6 models in Cai Be and Cai Lay districts.

In the model, microorganisms will be used to fix Cadmium so that plants cannot absorb it. At the same time, plants that absorb Cadmium will be grown...

Initially, the Department of Agriculture has analyzed fertilizers with phosphorus base, but without Cadmium content or content below the limit to recommend farmers to use instead of fertilizers with high Cadmium content. From there, isolate and prevent Cadmium from being present in the soil.
