The Use of a Two-Dimensional Electrical Resistivity Tomography (2D-ERT) as a Technique for Cadmium Determination in Cacao Crop Soils
This study provides new insights into the methodologies to pursue cadmium detection in cacao soils during field tests. This is critical as a first step to producing cocoa that conforms to the European Union and Codex Alimentarius regulations, regarding permissible Cd content in products derived from cocoa beans. Thus, the use of the 2D-ERT technique represents a diagnostic methodology to recognize the distribution of cadmium in the soil of cacao-growing farms, including both topsoil and subsoil boundaries.
