Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine factors affecting the disapproval of Chai Nat 1 rice seed production. Ninety-four farmers, who officially expressed their intention not to produce Chai Nat 1 rice seeds, were selected as informants. A questionnaire was used to gather data, which was available to compute multiple regression analysis, statistically investigating the relationship between the farmers' factors and the rejection of Chai Nat 1 rice seed production. Results revealed that 67 % of the respondents were male and the average year of production experience in rice seed was approximately 13 years. The results also indicated that three significant factors included training of seed producers, knowledge of rice seed production, and the attitudes of farmers influenced the disapproval of Chai Nat rice 1 seed production.These mentioned factors came from the fact that farmers had no proper knowledge about rice seed production because their daily tasks were tightly, with the addition of training schedules set by relevant officers was inconsistent with the farmers’ available time.Hence, the farmers had a negative attitude towards the production of Chai Nat 1 rice seed. Therefore, the officers and relevant agencies should appropriately educate farmers on rice seed production and paying attention to farmers’opinions. The results of this study can be used as information to improve rice production efficiency in the long run.
