Organic Farming Technology Development Village and Urban in Area Banna Sub-District, Banna District, Nakorn Nayok Province

Abstract

The objectives of this research are 1) to explore the use of agricultural production technology, 2) to develop a model for developing organic crop production technology that is suitable for the area, and 3) to drive and evaluate the development of organic crop production technology in the pilot agricultural area was successfully piloted in Ban Na Sub-District, Ban Na District, Nakhon Nayok Province. It is action research with participatory, using a form of research that combines quantitative research and qualitative research. The population and sample used in the research were 237 households in Ban Na sub-district area by distributing agricultural data surveys and using the data obtained for statistical analysis by determining the frequency and percentage values. Interviews with key informants are community leaders, farmer’s representatives, personnel in the Agricultural Office of Ban Na District Nakorn Nayok, government agencies, related private sectors and agricultural entrepreneurs in Ban Na Sub-district, Ban Na District, Nakhon Nayok Province total 20 persons, used the qualitative data obtained from data collection. They were analyzed by inductive interpretation and logical analysis and then used to describe the results of the data analysis.

          Research findings

1. Using production technology by farmers in Ban Na sub-district area, it was found that 1) most of the cultivation using natural cultivation systems, such as soil preparation, cultivation and plant propagation and breeding with the use of tractor, hoe, spade etc. 2) Plant maintenance and pest control, most plants are maintained by fertilizing manure, to improve the condition of the soil, making the soil loam and pest control by using fermented water has the effect of reducing pests and the leaves are pruned, including fertilizing and watering, trimming and wrapping produce, exterminating insects and pests with the use of technology, pruning shears, water pump, lawn mower, etc. And 3) Harvesting and Product Management, most of them are harvested by manual labor and food preservation for household consumption, including harvesting, processing and distribution with the use of technology, scissors, sneezing and a basket, etc.
2. The development model of technology for organic crop production suitable for the Ban Na sub-district was found that 1) the model for the development of suitable agricultural production technology in cultivation with the way of growing plants, soil preparation method and methods of plant propagation and breeding. 2) The development model of agricultural production technology for plant maintenance and pest control that is appropriate with fertilizing and watering methods, pruning and wrapping methods and how to get rid of insects and pests. 3) the development model of agricultural production technology in suitable harvesting and production management with harvesting methods, processing method and distribution methods.
3. The results of the drive and evaluation of the development of organic plant production technology in the pilot farm area in Ban Na Sub-district, Ban Na District, Nakhon Nayok Province were found to be successful that 1) Agricultural production technology in the cultivation of organic durian by using the Smart Farm system as an intelligent agriculture system or Smart Farm and growing organic vegetables, using the Smart Farm system has a plant to grow organic vegetables. 2) Appropriate agricultural production technology for crop maintenance and pest control, ie bio-fermentation for use in agricultural activities and the technology of planting Chaom in a cement pond and 3) Appropriate agricultural production technology for harvesting and yield management, such as organic rice production and the introduction of a weed separator to separate foreign matter in rice and the establishment of community shops for farmers to bring agricultural products to sell by themselves, to increase agricultural products and farmers in the area have a good and sustainable quality of life, namely social, economic and environmental aspects.
