In addition, Tien Giang Food Company conducted a trial harvest of rice produced without the use of pesticides in Tang Hoa commune, Go Cong Dong district. Many farmers visit the model of clean rice without using pesticides.

This model was first implemented on an area of ​​01 hectare, in Giong Lanh 2 hamlet, Tang Hoa commune, Go Cong Dong district, with the rice variety Nang Hoa 9. The difference of the model is that the whole crop is only used for the whole crop. Only AVI foliar fertilizer, however, still did not appear pests or common diseases on rice. Especially in the Autumn-Winter crop, while the surrounding rice fields were heavily infected with leaf blight, the rice in the model was still not infected, thereby helping farmers save about 7 million VND on the cost of pesticides plants per hectare of rice.

With a yield of 4.5 tons/hectare, no use of pesticides helps farmers save costs and increase profits. With 7 sprays of foliar fertilizer, AVI is full of medium and micro-elements to help rice plants grow and develop well, especially the roots, strong leaves, and effective resistance to pests and diseases to increase productivity. harvest is 4.5 tons/hectare, equivalent to the average productivity of the commune. On the other hand, because no pesticides are used, the quality of rice grains is good, safe for human health, and is consumed by enterprises for export to the US market, with a purchase price higher than the market price. The market from 15 to 20%, should increase the profit for farmers producing clean rice over 10 million VND/hectare compared to rice production using pesticides.

From the success of the first crop, in the upcoming 2018 Winter-Spring crop, Tang Hoa Agricultural Service Cooperative, Go Cong Dong District will continue to coordinate with Tien Giang Food Company, producing 20 hectares of rice only. using AVI fertilizers, without using pesticides, in order to protect the environment, while still ensuring income for rice growers.
