Impact of burning of agricultural areas !!

Continuous fire destroys useful organic substances in the soil causing reduced crop yields. During the long-term, farms must use fertilizer to improve the soil, which will be expensive. The cause is caused by flames from smoking and the spread that is at risk to nearby areas. Resulting in smog that is polluting the environment.

To solve the dust pollution problem is the national agenda. The Ministry of Agriculture has jointly set policies and measures to speed up the resolution of problems. The situation is a haze crisis and the small dust that is generated creates pollution. The reason is caused by burning in agricultural areas to prepare for planting in the next season. And burning to harvest sugarcane causes haze and dust, directly affecting the health of farmers.

The Stop Burning Farm Campaign in agricultural areas has continuously campaigned for farmers to realize and understand the impact and to create a burn-free community network. This is done in order to be vigilant in watch along with promoting sustainable agricultural practices.

Impact to Soil: The burning of agricultural land causes soil degradation. High production costs, reduced production. Farmers can solve it using the Raithep. Plant supplements help to improve soil conditions suitable for cultivation. By adding nutrients to the soil, In Raithep there are humic substances that are organic matter. It is a natural substance that can mix with water and be sprayed into the soil. Thus, Raithep helps the soil to be more fertile. Fertile soil helps the plant to have a good root system. It helps in rooting, creating new roots, helping plants to absorb soil nutrients better. Humic is also an important component of soil. It is a long-term solution for increasing production efficiency. This option for farmers is to have a better quality of vegetables, fruits, flowers, grains, rice or any plant you grow.

Removal of worms on corn

  • Regularly check the corn field >> As the corn begins to germinate, If you find a group of eggs and larvae, you need to take precautions to destroy them.
  • The healthy & preventive way to grow corn >> Use #RaiThep plant food supplements mixed with water and spray on the corn leaves. Because in the Raithep has a natural smell that can repel worms. While also helping plants to be resistant to diseases. Resulting in reduced costs and safe, no residue of corn.
  • Control the worm by biological methods >> Use of bacillus thuringiensis (BT) >> If an outbreak of large amounts of corn worms is out of control. BT is organic Gram-positive, soil-dwelling bacterium. Israelensis (Bti) is non-toxic, able to kill the larvae of certain flies and mosquitoes – before they become biting adults.
  • Notify the community pest management center Or district agricultural Gov. Office near the house. >> If found signs of destruction, hurry to eliminate and alert nearby farmers.

Sustainable Sugarcane Farm Management

Decrease in Sugarcane Production. Result: Low Quality and Sell at Low Price. How to increase sugarcane yield to meet increased demand?

Hot weather conditions in Thailand affect its sugar production. In the 2018/19 season, Thailand produced 14 million tonnes of sugar. In the 2019/20 season, Thailand is expected to produce approximately 13 million tonnes of sugar, a drop of almost 8% from the previous season.

The dry season in Thailand started in November 2019 and is expected to last till April 2020, though authorities expect the drought to continue till June 2020, as 14 provinces in Thailand have declared a drought. Thai sugar mills crush cane till May, but they may have to shorten the period to March since there is a limited supply of cane.

 

Raithep is a mixture of various Organic compounds including nitrogen (ON) representing potential N sources for crops and an alternative to inorganic N (IN, ammonium nitrate). #Sugarcane soils receive organic harvest residues (similar to 40-100 kg ON ha(-1)). Raithep re-investigated sugarcane to use organic monomers in the form of amino acids and it helps with the use of amino acids as a N source. This results in distinct metabolic or morphological change when compared with use of inorganic N (IN).

Plantlets cultivated in sterile culture and young plants grown in non-sterile soil culture were supplied with IN, ON (five amino acids present in sugarcane soils), or combined IN and ON. All treatments resulted in similar biomass and N content indicating that sugarcane has a well developed capacity to use ON and confirms findings in other species.

Raithep ON-supplied plants in axenic culture had increased total branch root length per unit primary root axis which has not been reported previously. In both experimental systems, Raithep ON in Organic Amino Compounds supplied plants had increased asparagine concentrations suggesting altered N metabolism. Root of ON-supplied soil-grown plants had significantly reduced nitrate concentrations. We interpret the shift from nitrate to asparagine as indicative of N form use other than or in addition to nitrate by sugarcane. N metabolite profiling could advance knowledge of crop N sources and this will aid in the development of N efficient cropping systems with a reduced Nitrogen(N) pollution footprint.

GOOD FARMERS CHOICE

  1. Planting short-lived plants, using little water Which has value for money Instead of continuous farming
  2. Plan to use water worthily and economically throughout the dry season.
  3. Water the plants in the morning and evening. To reduce water evaporation
  4. Choose an efficient water system suitable for the area and plant type.
  5. Maintain soil moisture by using mulch such as leaves, straw and hay.

Electricity to your farms in Thailand

For what reason is an Agricultural Electricity Important?

“Agricultural electricity is the utilization of power in a farm / garden for farming such as pumps, light bulbs, etc.”

The most effective method to demand power in agriculture land (with 3 stages as follows)

1. Mentioning house number

To get the electricity for house at farm. It is necessary to have a house number to introduce the transformer. When requesting that house number, if it is a remote zone in a village, you need to build a shelter or make a permanent home at all. Also, attach a bathroom with shelter, because to have a bathroom make a home look like permanent stay (Though still not permanently). It is very important evidence to support the house number.

Pictures of accommodation and toilets to provide sanitation in the area to check with signing sanitation documents. Then, bring the book to the gov., authorities for requesting the next house number. The certificate from the authorities need to submit at the district office. This give you a copy of Registration of house and its number.

When asking for agricultural electricity, look for other farms can add to electricity. It must have 3 or more houses in the same zone to request electricity. Again, emphasizing that 3 or more homes will have the weight to request electricity in remote areas. But if there is only one house in the area, can request special electricity but the electricity cost will be higher than normal.

2. Submit the case to the local administrative organization

Bring the matter to the local administrative organization in each area of you, may be a Subdistrict Administrative Organization or a municipality, depending on your area location. Staff will fill out a document to certify by attaching a copy of our house registration and neighbors together.

3. Submit the matter to the Electricity Authority in their own district

After submitting the matter at the local administrative organization Brought the documents to the Electricity Authority in our district and complete the document Which is a handover. And don’t forget to ask the possibility of getting electricity into the area as well. Recommend to group together a lot 3, 5 or more Will cause more weight
