5. Saline Soil Development Project (Phase 2) |
| |
| The
problem of saline soil is increasingly severe causing the loss of
the farmers' income and fertile land. There are several factors contributing
to this widespread of soil salinity, e.g., salt farming, building
reservoir on saline area, deforestation on saline slope land. In the
northeastern part of Thailand there are a total of 17.8 million rai
of saline soil spreading over 17 provinces. They are classified as
12.6 million rai of low saline soil, 3.7 million rai of moderate saline
soil, 1.5 million rai of extreme saline soil, as well as another 19.4
million rai of potential spreading saline soil. Development to increase
agricultural productivity will be made on low and moderate saline
soil while demonstration farming will be set as a model on extreme
saline soil type. As for the potential spreading area information
will be provided to prevent its further widespreading. |

6. Tung Kula Rong Hai Development Project (Phase 4) |
| |
| Tung
Kula Rong Hai is considered to be one of the most unproductive area
in Thailand. The total area of 2.1 million rai covers 5 provinces
in the northeast: Roi-et, Surin, Sri Saket, Maha Sarakam, and Yasothon.
Some parts of the area are sandy, some are saline soil while the other
are acid sulfate soil. Water supply is out of control, too little
in the early cultivation time but flooded at the end of the season.
Drought occupies the area in the dry season. Soil and water conservation,
and irrigation system have been set up in the area for paddy rice
improvement which cover 488,528 rai. The system helps increasing yield,
The alternative production of mixed field crops and fruit trees is
feasible. The program has to be extended to cover the whole area. |
| |
|
| |
| |

|
Land resource
development is proceeded to increase the productive potential
while soil quality is improved to attain better crop yield. |
|

7. Soil and Fertilizer Management Project |
| |
| According
to the survey made all over the country, 3.0 million rai of landis
misused while 191 million rai is unfertilized soil with low organic
matters. Soil development is urgently needed to improve the agricultural
productive land. However, farmers do not have proper techniques or
knowledge to select and cultivate appropriate plants for the soil
types. Type of soil itself could also contribute to the problem. Soil
in some southern part is peat soil and acidity caused by the sea water.
This soil cannot be used for cultivation and need proper management. |
| |
| Objectives: |
|
The misuse of land could
be solved by providing the correct information on how to select
suitable plants for the specific type of land as well as effective
use of fertilizer. Simple management procedure is needed to
help farmers increase their productivity and enable self-operation. |
|
Farmers should
know how to improve the soil with organic materials like decomposed
fertilizer or chopped plants or green manure. |

| |
| There are 5.5 million
rai of acid soil in 20 provinces of central and eastern Thailand.
Almost half of this land is considered extremely acid and unfertile. |
|
|
| |
| In
1975, Land Development Department has launched a program to help improving
these acid soil. 900,000 cu.m of marl lime is distributed to 27,000
farmers to use on 733,335 rai of acid soil area. Rice yield was increased
from 10 to 15-20 tung/rai which contributed to the increase of income
in the average of 600-800 baht/rai. However, there is 1.5 million
rai more of acid soil to be developed. A 5-year plan to provide enough
marl lime is needed. |
| |

|
Acid soil development
program through procedure demonstration, advice, and promotion
is established. The aim is to increase not only the crop yield
but also the possibility of using the land for agriculture. |
|

His Majesty the King has realized this great problem and suggested
the use of vetiver grass to help soil and water conservation. This
type of grass could be easily cultivated by farmers. It needs no complicate
technology to maintain and very economic to use. Land Development
Department has collected and distributed the information on vetiver
grass researches to farmers and governmental personnel. Strains of
vetiver grass are selected and propagated for farmers and working
units to use. |

production and low income. Soil and water conservation project
is urgently needed to restore natural resources from further
erosion damages.

16. Land Development Researches Project |
| |
| Research
work in Land Development Department cover the topics on soil and water
conservation, watershed management, soil improvement, soil survey
and analysis, land use planning, socio-economic and evaluation, as
well as research experiment for land development. These projects are
distributed to several development programs and narrowed down to each
specific problem. It is, therefore, more effective and systematic
to put them all under one main topic of "Research for land development"
whereby emphasis will be made on land resource improvement and land
management information of soil types suitable for each location. |
| |
|
| |
| Objectives: |
|
Result of research on
land management could be effectively implemented and reach the
end users. Sustainable agriculture development is emphasized.
Farmers have various alternatives to select according to suitable
soil types. |

| In
1983, Land Development Department received a funding support from
FAO and later on having a joint project from Japan (JICA) to alleviate
the problem of Eastern soil erosion. It is, therefore, necessary to
lay a clear and concise plan on soil and water conservation specifically
for eastern land area. The plan has to be feasible and acceptable
to use by the farmers. Training and transferring of technologies on
soil and water conservation to the government personnel and eastern
farmers are included. |
| |
| Objectives: |
|
To find an appropriate
procedure to conserve soil and water using a pilot project together
with the analysis of research data. |
|
To be the center of soil
and water conservation whereby training and transferring of
technologies on soil and water conservation to government personnel
and farmers are provided. |
|
|
