Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate factors that influence the prevention of Cassava Mosaic Disease (CMD) of farmers in Nong Bua Rawe district, Chaiyaphum province. The sample size was 359 farmers of 3 Sub-districts, namely Wang Takhe, Huai Yae and Khok Sa-at. Data was gathered using an interview form with the computation of statistic methods of frequency, percentage, mean, minimum and maximum value, standard deviation, and multiple regression analysis. The results showed that most of the farmers were female (62.7 percent) with an average age of 52.8 years old. Their experience in cassava planting was 26.1 years, with average numbers of cassava planting areas and yields were 34.3 rai and 3.2 tons/rai respectively, received training and advice about cassava mosaic disease (CMD) from agricultural extension officers average 1 time/year, knowledge of CMD was at a moderate level. Regarding practices against CMD, most farmers had been conducted by not importing cassava stems from foreign countries. This had simultaneously done with, if cassava leaves were seen infectious, they would be exterminated for the benefit of prevention. From hypothesis testing, it was found that the factors that significantly correlated with the prevention of CMD (P < 0.05) were production costs, income, and knowledge of CMD.
