 หัวเรื่อง:ไม่มีชื่อไทย (ชื่ออังกฤษ : The Impact of Climatic Variability on Phenological Change,Yield and Fruit Quality of Mangosteen in Phatthalung Province, Southern Thailand) ผู้เขียน: Sakulrat Apiratikorn, Sayan Sdoodee, ลดาวัลย์ เลิศเลอวงศ์, Sopon Rongsawat สื่อสิ่งพิมพ์:pdf AbstractSouthern Thailand is a traditional area for tropical fruit plantations. Recently, the phenology in many fruit trees, including mangosteen, has been changed due to climatic variability. Therefore, the impact of climatic variability on phenological change, yield and quality of mangosteen needs to be investigated. In 2008, a study was established in an orchard in Phatthalung province, southern Thailand. Eighteen-year old mangosteen trees with 8 ? 8 m spacing were used to investigate fl owering during the in-season, off-season and even, alternate bearing during three consecutive years (2008–2010). The 30- year weather data from 1981 to 2010 showed trends of change in the annual rainfall, the number of rainy days, and the maximum and minimum temperature. A marked change in rainfall distribution affected the phenological change in fl owering, productivity and fruit quality. In 2008 and 2009, the mangosteen trees experienced the required dry period that regulates fl oral induction before fl owering. Thus, fl owering was found in both the in-season and off-season. However, in 2010, a prolonged drought in summer followed by rain during July–August caused leaf fl ushing instead of fl owering and this resulted in no off-season fruit production. This indicated that climatic variability resulted in a phenological change of mangosteen in Phatthalung province, southern Thailand where there is usually off-season production. In addition, climatic variability affected the fruit yield and fruit quality of mangosteen. |

 หัวเรื่อง:ไม่มีชื่อไทย (ชื่ออังกฤษ : Status of Dairy Milk Business in Phatthalung Province and Development Approaches to Its Sustainability) ผู้เขียน:Somruthai Khunthong, Kodchamonporn Thongkaew, Kannika Dacha, Youparat Fongsoovan, Laddarat Sukkhird, Kriengsak Pattamarakha สื่อสิ่งพิมพ์:pdf AbstractThe study aimed to investigate: 1) the management of the production of dairy milk by farmers in Phatthalung province, 2) the management of milk processing by a dairy milk cooperative, and 3) opinions on approaches to developing a sustainable dairy business. The district extension officer, 4 staff of the dairy milk cooperative—namely, the director of the cooperative, the manager, the chief of production, and the chief of finance—and 53 dairy farmers were interviewed. The findings revealed that most farmers raised Holstein Friesian (black and white) cattle. About half of the dairy farmers had less than 20 head of dairy cattle. They fed their cows concentrates twice daily coupled with grass or roughage. They milked their cattle using milking machines. Most had their own pasture, but the grass and roughage were insufficient to feed their cattle. Their milk production was around 8–9 kilograms per head per day which was rather low. The cooperative bought the raw milk at 17–18 baht per kilogram depending on the quality of the milk. The price was fair and the farmers were satisfied with it. Mastitis, a low conception rate, and inadequate grass and roughage were mentioned as the main problems they faced. Daily, the cooperative processed 40 tonnes of dairy milk and processed 20,000 milk bags, which it had no problem in marketing. Many approaches were suggested as means of developing the sustainability of the dairy milk business: enlarging the pasture size, increasing the farmers’ knowledge of raising cattle, offering concentrates at the lowest possible price, and encouraging farmers’ children to take up the occupation of dairy farming. The results suggest that future approaches to developing sustainability in the dairy milk business should have as their prime objective increasing the quantity of raw dairy milk. This can be achieved by various methods as mentioned above. In addition, the need to encourage young energetic people who are not currently associated with dairy farming to switch to this business to replace existing dairy farmers is apparent. |

หัวเรื่อง:ความสามารถในการพึ่งตนเองของสมาชิกกลุ่มผลิตเมล็ดพันธุ์ข้าว กรณีศึกษากลุ่มผู้จัดทำแปลงขยายพันธุ์บ้านมะกอกใต้ จังหวัดพัทลุง ผู้เขียน:Thitima jeamsavasd,  ดร.เอมอร อังสุรัตน์, รองศาสตราจารย์ , วัชรี เลิศมงคล, ดร.สนธิชัย จันทร์เปรม, รองศาสตราจารย์ สื่อสิ่งพิมพ์:pdf AbstractThe objectives of this investigation were to determine 1) some background of Ban Makok Tai Seed
Multiply Field Group members, 2) rice seed production process, 3) their self-reliance capabilities, 4) indicated
the relationship between some background of members with their self reliance capabilities, and 5) their
constraints and recommendations in order to improve their self-reliance capabilities. Population was 62
members of Ban Makok Tai Seed Multiply Field Group, Chai-Buri sub-district, Mueang district, Phatthalung
province. Data collection was obtained through interview schedule. Descriptive statistics were frequency,
percentage, mean, standard deviation and correlation.
The findings revealed that their average age was 52 years. Major occupation was rice cultivation.
Average farm land tenure was 22.6 rai (3.62 hectares) per household. Average income was 326,788 baht
per year per household. Average rice seed was 746 kilogram per rai. Cost of seed production was 2,239
baht per rai. Their self-reliance capabilities indicated by their actual roles in respective aspects were found
by 7 sub-items, including self-reliance capabilities towards self-sufficiency economic aspects, self-reliance
capabilities towards their roles, self-reliance capabilities towards socio-cultural aspects, self-reliance
capabilities towards economic aspects, self-reliance capabilities towards seed production aspects, self-reliance
capabilities towards strength community aspects, and self-reliance capabilities towards social aspects
respectively. Factors affecting self-reliance capabilities development were rice seed production experiences,
rice seed income, rice seed cost, rice seed field tenure, number of group belonging, farm media perception,
public activities participation, and number of native knowledge application.
Recommendations were 1) to campaign native knowledge application for rice seed production; 2) to
promote cultivation techniques under cultural concerns; 3) to support group building for more supply; and
4) to enhance their capabilities continuity towards field study, academic discussions, and training courses. |
