Abstract

Ministry of Agriculture has established the Planting Area Expansion (called PAT) Program to increase rice production by expanding the harvest area. The study used a time-series analysis approach with the structured vector autoregressive (SVAR) method with monthly data for the period January 1993-March 2025. The results of the analysis show that rice production in 2025 is estimated to reach 58.43 million tons of milled dry grain, an increase of 5.29 million tons (9.95%) compared to production in 2024, as a contribution of the program to expand the planting area and land optimalization (known as OPLAH), irrigation development, pump and pipeline installation, new rice field cultivation of 1.62 million tons or 30.56 percent, worth IDR 12.58 trillion. Three main recommendations are as follows: (1) the performance of water pump and OPLAH assistance in 2024 should be ensured to proceed in 2025, and OPLAH as well as new rice field development in 2025 should be ensured to be fully realized, with some of the new rice fields already able to be planted with rice; (2) controlling the rate of rice field conversion to maintain the availability of rice cultivation land; and (3) optimizing farmer assistance by field agricultural extension workers.

Abstract

Water and minerals are the key resources for citrus production. However, their excessive use can hinder plant growth and lead to economic losses. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different polymers on soil properties, lemon plant growth, irrigation intervals, and water saving. The treatments were control (T0), water-pad polymer laid at the bottom of the plant pit (T1), polymer in powder form at 3 g/kg of soil (T2), and polymer in crystal form at 3 g/kg of soil (T3). To avoid seepage losses, a plastic polyethylene sheet was placed along each side of the pit, and one-year-old lemon plants were transplanted in each pit. The results show that soil physical and chemical properties significantly improved in all treatments when compared with the control treatment. The improved hydro-physical characteristics increased the irrigation interval and reduced the number of irrigations by 50%. The accumulation of soil minerals (Ca and Mg) and soil cations (K and Na) was significantly increased than control. Water saving of 39% and substantial improvement in plant growth were observed in all polymer treatments. The water and mineral saving and significant improvement in plant growth show the hydrogel as a resilient soil amendment for plant growth and economic benefits.

Abstract

Grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Caelifera) have increased interest as sustainable protein sources due to their high nutritional composition and their ecological roles. This study employed sweep-net sampling (100 sweeps along a 100-meter transect per site per event) to examine grasshopper diversity, abundance, and nutrition across six Thai agroecosystems. Diversity indices were investigated, and nutritional values were identified using AOAC methods. A total of 3,400 individuals from 23 species were collected. Paddy fields and grass floors were the most diverse species and abundant, especially in the Northeast and Central areas. Three diversity indices, Shannon–Wiener (1.9–2.7), Simpson (0.86–0.93), Pielou’s evenness (0.80–0.94), and species richness (8–16), showed moderate diversity with some habitat dominance. GLM suggested that both habitats and regions significantly influenced their abundance, and rarefaction studies validated sample adequacy. Nutritional analysis of five abundant species showed high levels of crude protein (70–79% dry matter). Pseudoxya diminuta, Spathosternum prasiniferum, and Ceracris fasciata showing superior nutritional profiles. Spathosternum prasiniferum was particularly high in calcium and phosphorus. These results show which species and habitats are sustainable for future protein production by combining ecological and nutritional perspectives. Such insights can support integrated grasshopper farming, farmer income diversification, and sustainable protein development in Thailand.

Abstract

‘Monthong’ is one of the most popular durian cultivars in Thailand and international markets because of its good taste, mild aroma, firm texture, and long shelf life. Premium-grade durians are expensive and in high demand, but clear criteria are still limited. In this study, ‘Monthong’ that won prizes in competitions were selected to examine their characteristics. The common traits found in the winning fruits were considered as potential indicators of premium quality. It was found that all winning durians had a pulp dry matter (DM) content of at least 36%. Moreover, pulp DM also showed a positive correlation with flavor (r = 0.59, P = 0.038). Nevertheless, results from a public sensory test showed that pulp DM ≥36% alone was not enough to define premium quality (χ² = 0.120, P > 0.05). Principal component analysis implied that sweetness, nuttiness, aroma, and low fiber content also influenced consumer preference. When DM ≥36% was combined with these favorable sensory traits, consumers could identify premium durians more accurately. In this case, 76.3% correctly identified premium-quality fruit. These findings suggest that a DM of ≥36% with key sensory traits serves as a reliable criterion for defining the premium quality of ‘Monthong’ durian.

Abstract

As a result of the increase in global temperature, cowpeas have been predicted to be one of the crops to face more frequent exposures to heat stress. This study investigates the effect of heat stress on stress-tolerant cowpea cultivars (Ifebrown-IF, Danila-DN, and Alokalocal-AK) from seed germination to early vegetative growth. Cultivars were exposed to different temperature regimes (27±3°C, 37±3°C) for 40 days and nights. IF and DN cultivars had early seed germination at both temperature regimes in comparison to the AK cultivar, which had delayed germination at 27±3°C. At the early vegetative growth stage, increased proline content, reduced oxidative stress, relative leaf temperature, stomatal conductance, reduced transpiration rates, and photosynthesis rates shifted each cultivar to the temperature of interest. Both temperature regimes favored DN and AK cultivars, while only 27±3°C supported IF cultivars, with evidence in their chlorophyll content, leaf area (LA), plant height (PH), fresh-shoot weight (FSW), and dry-shoot weight (DSW) in comparison to IF cultivars that had poor growth at 37±3°C. Thus, temperatures of interest are important to ensure tolerance of specific cowpea cultivars from seed germination to early vegetative growth under heat stress.

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to estimate and determine the in-situ transpiration dynamics of three oil palm varieties, which include DxP Langkat, DyP Dumpy, and DxP PPKS 540, using the Ratio Method (HRM) to measure real-time sap flow (SF). Field observations in Adolina, North Sumatra, were conducted in September, October, and December 2023 to collect data on macro- and microweather and soil moisture at varying distances from sample trees. Vapor pressure deficit (VPD) and solar radiation (QS) were among the key environmental factors that had strong associations with SF. Up to 82.24% of SF variability was explained by VPD and QS. DxP PPKS 540 recorded the highest transpiration rate of 1.70 mm/day because it had a higher leaf area (9.00 m2), and a bigger petiole cross-section (52.50 cm2). DxP Langkat, on the other hand, had the lowest transpiration rate at 1.49 mm/day. The results indicated the significance of VPD and QS in controlling sap flow and suggested that transpiration varied among varieties. This study provides an understanding of the physiological variation among oil palm varieties and a basis for future use in determining genotypes with increased drought resistance and adaptability to enhance resilience in new climatic conditions.

Abstract

Bemisia tabaci is a major pest of soybeans and a vector of plant viruses. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of four entomopathogenic fungi for suppressing B. tabaci populations on soybeans. The four treatments were L. lecanii, A. aleyrodis, M. anisopliae, and B. bassiana, a comparison with the insecticide thiamethoxam and a control group without treatment. The four types tested were able to suppress B. tabaci populations by up to 75%, with A. aleyrodis being especially effective. There was no significant difference in efficacy between the four types and the insecticide thiamethoxam. Validating the efficacy of entomopathogenic fungi, there were no significant differences in plant height, dry stover weight, or number of pods between treatments with the insecticide thiamethoxam. However, significant differences occurred in the number of empty pods and seed weight, reducing yield losses by up to 78%. There was a positive correlation between the B. tabaci population and the number of empty pods (r = 0.80), while there was a negative correlation between the B. tabaci population and plant height and soybean yield (r = -0.56 and r = -0.54, respectively).

Abstract

Selenium (Se) is crucial to human health, especially in the immune system and natural defense mechanisms. However, selenium levels in soils are generally low and vary with parent material. Soil deterioration and intensive agricultural activities are among the main factors that contribute to selenium depletion in the soil. Consequently, there is a need to cultivate enriched crops. This study examined the effects of different forms of selenium on plant uptake when used as a foliar spray. Lettuce plants did not show significant differences in weight, height, or leaf number when exposed to different selenium types. However, plants that received the highest level of selenium had fewer leaves but accumulated the highest levels. A further study was conducted in a glasshouse to examine the impact of applying Se, Zn, and a combination of both as foliar fertilizers on the dry matter, crop growth, and uptake by lettuce grown in mineral soil. Results showed that applying selenium and zinc to lettuce leaves improved the content of both minerals compared to the control. No negative effects on growth or yield occurred despite the plants receiving high concentrations of selenium and zinc as foliar fertilizer.

Abstract

Microgreens are popular culinary ingredients due to their higher nutrient and antioxidant content compared to their mature counterparts. This study was conducted to enhance the seed germination, growth, and yield of basil as a microgreen. The study was divided into two experiments: the first involved basil seeds treated with six chitosan concentrations, including 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1% v/v. In the second experiment, the seeds were planted at three densities: 110, 220, and 330 g/m². Based on the results, increasing in concentration of chitosan to an extent led to an increase in seed germination and microgreen growth performances, where 0.6% was the best out of all the treatments as it recorded the highest germination percentage (65%), germination speed (6.918 seeds per day), seed vigour index (4807), seedling height (7.40 cm), root length (3.60 cm), stem diameter (0.56 mm) and leaf area (0.62 cm²). In addition, 220 g/m² was found to be the optimal planting density among the three treatments, due to increased yield and a marketable appearance. Future research is needed to evaluate the nutritional and phytochemical contents.

Abstract

Sugar palm (Arenga pinnata) is a versatile Indonesia-native species widely distributed across the archipelago. It can function as a water-conserving plant and provides low-glycemic-index sugar (GI 35.56) from palm sap, allowing safer consumption by people with diabetes. An early-maturing variety, endemic to East Kutai Regency, East Kalimantan Province, has been designated a National Early-Maturing Superior Variety and is promoted as a leading commodity. However, cultivation is constrained by slow seed germination, which may take about two years because of strong seed dormancy. Sugar palm seeds can remain dormant due to morphophysiological, physical, and physiological constraints that inhibit water uptake, embryo growth, and metabolic activation. Previous studies have attempted to accelerate germination using mechanical scarification, chemical treatments, immersion in water at controlled temperatures (stratification), and applications of growth regulators at various concentrations. Reported germination success for scarification ranges from 52.00% to 73.00%, indicating room for improvement. This article reviews and identifies practical approaches to accelerate palm seed germination, emphasizing that effective dormancy-breaking innovations are essential to supply planting material for expanding sugar palm plantations and improving crop production. Such improvements could shorten nursery cycles, enhance seedling uniformity, and strengthen farmer adoption.
