Feeding rice with chicken eggs and strawberries with fresh milk is highly effective.
Feeding rice with fresh milk and eggs instead of fertilizer or medicine or watering strawberries with milk may sound strange but it brings unexpected results.
The strange rice growing story of Mr. Duong Xuan Vu (Phu Tan district, An Giang province) attracts public attention.
According to Mr. Vu, in the 2019-2020 winter-spring rice crop, his father provided him with 4,900 rice varieties for sowing. Because his father needed rice from this variety to make milk rice, but on the condition that he had to apply an organic production model, not using chemical fertilizers or pesticides in the fields.

While struggling to solve the difficult problem posed by his father, Mr. Vu was instructed by someone to use Dia Long lime with chicken eggs and Vinamilk milk to spray on the rice field.
From the time the rice is planted in the ground until harvest, Mr. Vu only uses lime, fresh milk and chicken eggs to "drink" the rice instead of fertilizer and medicine, and the estimated yield is over 1 ton/1,000m.2.The hottest place in Vietnam can grow strawberries thanks to watering with milk.
Strawberries are considered a famous cold-loving crop of Da Lat (Lam Dong). However, currently in Ninh Thuan - the most harshly hot land in the country - there is a strawberry garden growing well, attracting the attention of tourists and locals.

Ms. Vo Thi Huong (60 years old, Phuoc Dan town, Ninh Phuoc) is the first and only person to grow strawberry gardens in Ninh Thuan.
The most unique thing about this strawberry garden is that every 3 days to 1 week, depending on the growth of each strawberry plant, Mrs. Huong will water the strawberries with… milk. Strawberry plants watered with milk will bloom, and especially produce more fragrant and sweeter fruit than those watered with only water.
