Effect of bio-organic fertilizer on sunflower plantation in HuaHin district, Prachuap Khiri Khan province
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study was aimed to evaluate the potential of sunflower planting in Hua Hin district, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province. The evaluation method was carried out by comparing seed yields and percent of oil content in different treatments which were affected by applying different producing factors. The results showed non-significant difference on seed yield among plots received from different producing factors, including no fertilizer application, chemical fertilizer (formula 15-15-15 of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium with rating of 30 kg/rai) application and bio-organic fertilizer application at two different rates (200 and 400 kg/rai). The seed yields and percentage of oil content in seed kernel of sunflower planted for two consecutive growing seasons; dry season (February to May) and late rainy season (September to December) in 2015 were 89.40 kg/rai and 103.89 kg/ rai, and 43.61 percent and 39.53 percent, respectively. According to the results of current study, there are various points of suggestion to farmers who are interested in planting sunflower in the located area. Soil improvement and further study of planting sunflower integrated with other types of plants in farmer’s field are significantly concentrated consideration and the alternative way to increase the value of seed yield by processing them into oil production. Furthermore, by-product from production process is used as feed meal or organic fertilizer.
