37. After 3 years of
experience SRI
Farmers found that
-Reduce cost inputs
-Paddy rice output not
different from conventional
method sometime better.
-Rice tolerant to drought
-Easy to control weed

38. So our group will
continue to use SRI
method and try to
reccommend to
other farmers.

40. • Drought lead to weed
problem.
• Too much water lead to
rice not properly grow
hard to drained water out.
• Shortage of water source.
• Lack of labour.
• Farmers afraid to change
from old method to SRI
practice.

42. • Dr.Nopavej Boonmee help
our group forming
“Moon River Local
knowledge network”
• Brand “Kawkoonkum”

43. Member of Thatum SRI Group
Moon River Local Knowledge Network

45. • Attentive look after rice
field
• If using man power area
not over 1hectare
• Save seed
• No use chemical Fertiliser
,pesticide and herbicide
• Rice tolerant to drought

46. • Output not different
from conventional
method sometime better.
• Reduce cost inputs
• Easy to control weed

47. Future expectation
Even we have done well in our
activities. We still need some
supports from government
sector to
- improve our products
- marketing
- Transfer of knowledge to
youth (Education Fund for
farmer children.)
