Research Abstract |
Rain-fed lowland areas are mostly cultivated by rice mono-cropping and its regards one of the disadvantages and weakness of the farm household economy. In this research, we found that the farm family labor and ground water capacity and qualities are suitable to introduce the new dry season crops at a selected survey site in Northeast Thailand. Then agronomical experiments were carried out in the controlled fields in order to understand the yield effect of crop rotation between dry season crops and the wet season rice by the different cultivation method.
