Abstract

The biochemical methane potentials for common reed (Phragmites australis) and cow dung from northern Thailand, Chiang Mai city were investigated. This study aims to evaluate optimal parameters for the substrate of common reed and cow dung with different ratios (i.e. 1:1, 2:1 and 1:2) for improving the quality of methane content and biogas production. The effect of the co-substrate mixture was carried out in a batch reactor operated under room temperature and hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 45 days. The experiments were conducted in the fermenter with a working volume of 2.5 L and a total volume of 3L. The substrate was containing 15% of total solids (TS) and fermentation at initial pH 7. Biodegradation of substrate stated that chemical oxidation demand (COD) removal was 52.38%, the utilization of volatile solid was 75.46%. The results were achieved at ratio 2:1 (common reed and cow dung) reached the highest methane content and total biogas yield are 70% and 20,015 ml, respectively. Consequently, the results of this study suggested that mixing ratios of influence on the fermentation process and monitoring parameters were significant for further scale up or large-scale design of enriched methane content and biogas production.

Abstract

Mae Cham district is located only 156 kilometers from the center for Chiang Mai, but the road trip would take at least 3 hours on the meandering mountains road. The first dirt road that provides access between Mae Cham in Chiang Mai was completed in 1963. The result of the road network and access to the global market has both positive and negative impacts on the people pf Mae Cham. The access to Mae Cham has transformed the food production system in Mae Cham from being self sufficient to becoming a part of the national and international food chain. The crops on the field have changed from rice to cash crops like animal feed corn and from local vegetables to commercial crops like cabbages, to feed into the national and international food chains. The consumption of local food has been transformed as well. The local dishes remain the same, while the added ingredient such as monosodium glutamate, fish sauce, seasoning powders that have increase the chance of high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes.

Abstract

Chiang Mai air pollution has persisted in crisis for more than a decade. This issue continues to exist owing to the government has failed in addressing related policies and/or explicit solutions to cope with adopting carrier of farmers. This research found that farmers are familiar with cattle raising because this has been an important part of the country since ancient times. Therefore, cattle production is not only safe economically but also sound indigenously and ecologically. This research was conducted in Mae Chaem District’s Ban Thab Sub-districts of Chiang Mai, where slash and burn corn has been dominant for maize plantation. Participatory Action Research (PAR) was implemented throughout interviewing and observing to collect data from 14 farmers in the selected area. Then the data was analyzed by the inductive approach and descriptive statistics to identify essential components for the sustainability of cattle production. Results yield by the participants indicate that cattle production is the potential to replace slash and burn for monoculture due to its advantages.

Abstract

The study is divided into two components, namely; the beekeeping status and contribution of bees as pollinators and the development of its by-products. The first component is on documentation of existing beekeeping activity and honey utilization in Region III; Inventory of bee plants surrounding Mt. Arayat and the contribution of the honeybee as pollinators to selected tropical fruit trees and vegetable crops. The second component, which is on the development of products and by-products came up with a honey wine formulation and eight wellness products. The general objective of this project is to promote beekeeping, its products, and by-products developed among various communities in the vicinity of Mt. Arayat and nearby municipalities of Pampanga. Beekeepers are members of the Beekeeper Association, Luzon Chapter. The type of race usually found in the research places is Apis millifera where the number of colonies of the Beekeepers ranges from 4 to 48. The farm size for beekeeping ranges from 1000 to 5000sq.m. Beekeepers observed proper hive placement, density, water, and management. As to training needs the beekeepers said that they need training on the global trends in beekeeping, a quality race of bees (queen) and packaging technology for honey. Eight forest trees, 12 vegetables, five field crops, 13 fruit trees, six ornamental plants, and four wild plants have so far been identified and were found within PAC surroundings and vicinity of Mount Arayat. These plants varied in their flowering time which makes them good sources of nectar and pollen all year round for the honeybees. There are plants bearing either nectar or pollen, and there are also plants that possess both the nectar and pollen. The study showed that honeybees could affect the fruit size and harvest of cashew, squash, cucumber, and tamarind fruits. The honey wine developed is very much acceptable in terms of appearance, aroma, and taste. The wellness products were very effective in the specific study conducted such as acne, wound healing, and rashes, among others.

Abstract

Rapid and massive damage on peatland mainly due to conversion to a production system in the presence of perennial crops for the purpose of financially profitable agribusiness, such as oil palm plantations and other industries, can lead to increased greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gas emissions are influenced by biophysical processes are complex, such as peat decomposition and compaction, nutrient availability, soil water content, and soil water content. When land clearing increased significantly in the area of peatland is not followed by the application of sustainable agriculture, then, will peat land would become flammable and the greater the volume of CO2 gas that emits into the atmosphere that causes global warming and climate change. This paper reviews about the expansion of agriculture and plantations on peatland and action needs to be done by following sustainable agricultural systems. Noting the condition of peatland that have been severely damaged due to the expansion of oil palm plantations, the mitigation and adaptation in the land through sustainable agricultural system is highly recommended to reduce the more severe damage to the peatland areas and minimize the release of CO2 into the atmosphere.

Abstract

The effects of organic and inorganic fertilizers on the growth and yield performance of soybean was evaluated at ALIAS R & DE Center, Pampanga State Agricultural University, PAC, Magalang, Pampanga from December 2017 to March 2018. It was laid out in the field according to the procedures of randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The treatments tested were T1 – No fertilizer application, T2 – 500 kg/ha of Power Organic, T3 – 21.74 kg/ha of Urea and 150 kg/ha of Super Phosphate, T4 – 250 kg/ha of Power Organic + 10.87 kg/ha of Urea and 75 kg/ha of Super Phosphate, T5 – 375 kg/ha of Power Organic + 5.44 kg/ha of Urea and 37.5/ha of Super Phosphate, T6 – 125 kg/ha of Power Organic + 16.31 kg/ha of Urea and 112 kg/ha of Super Phosphate. Results revealed that all organic and inorganic fertilizers applied crops were significantly different in terms of days to flowering, plant height at flowering, length of pods, weight of 100 seeds and computed seed yield per hectare. Cost and return analysis reveals that the highest net income and return of investment was derived from the combination of 50 % organic and 50 % inorganic fertilizer. Conjunctive use of organic and inorganic fertilizer, that is, 50 % recommended rate of organic fertilizer (Power organic) along with 50 % recommended rate of inorganic fertilizer (Urea and Super Phosphate) can enhance the growth and yield performance of soybean and can help the farmer to increase their production with higher net income.
