The invention discloses a method for cyclically repairing a cadmium-contaminated rice field and planting rice. A typical southern rice planting area with the soil heavy metal grade III (according to the evaluation method of the soil environment quality standard value GB 15618-1995) is selected, and the method comprises the following steps that 1, repairing is carried out, wherein an activation agent is applied into the planting area, hyperaccumulator is planted, and heavy metal cadmium is extracted through plants; 2, monitoring is carried out, wherein the content of the heavy metal cadmium in the planting area is dynamically monitored, and whether the planting area is suitable for rice planting or not is judged according to the content; 3, planting is carried out, wherein after the monitoring value reaches the standard, a passivator is applied, and rice planting is carried out; 4, cadmium content monitoring is carried out before each batch of rice is planted, after the cadmium content reaches the standard, the third step is executed, and if the cadmium content does not reach the standard, the first step is executed. According to the method for cyclically repairing the cadmium-contaminated rice field and planting the rice, the problem about rice field cadmium contamination is effectively solved, soil performance is improved, and the economic value of land in a repairing period is increased.
