Lopburi Model (2015)
Objective
1.To solve the problems of agricultural sector exactly at the point. Including the increasing productivity, the decreasing production cost and sustainable agriculture.
2.Provide farmers who participated in Lopburi project as the model of sustainable agriculture.
3.Improve the acidic soil to be the suitable pH for economic crop cultivation.
Target group
-Farmers who plant Paddy Rice, Maize, Sugarcane and Tapioca
We randomly collected pH value from 11 district in Lopburi and found pH before treatment was 4.99 by average indicating that soil was very strong acid. After treated by Ultragreen and found pH of soil was 5.63 by average meant pH increased 0.64 within 1 month. In addition, the Sample Farmers found their yield in the experimental plot had increased significantly and results to farmers income increased as well.
