This study evaluated the effects of different growing media on the vegetative growth, chlorophyll content, and inflorescence yield of Cannabis sativa L. ‘Platinum Kush Breath Remix’. A substrate composed of peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite (3:1:1; PM) significantly enhanced plant height, stem diameter, number of nodes, and inflorescence yield. The highest chlorophyll a and total chlorophyll contents were observed in plants grown in a medium comprising coconut coir, perlite, vermiculite, and vermicompost (3:1:1:1; CC1), which was comparable to PM in terms of yield. Both PM and CC1 media significantly outperformed other treatments, indicating their suitability for optimizing C. sativa growth and productivity.

This research identified a 24-bp INDEL (-358) on the promoter region of the PRL gene in Thai native chickens. The allele frequencies for allele I and allele D were 0.20 and 0.80, respectively. The genotype frequencies were II (0.028), ID (0.349), and DD (0.622), respectively. The heterozygosity values comprised the Ho (0.350), higher than the He value (0.323). Moreover, our findings revealed new DNA duplication on the PRL promoter region, with three distinct polymorphisms of 30 bp (-358), 24 bp (-358), and 14 bp (-358), respectively.

To meet the increasingly diverse demand for edible mushrooms and stabilize the supply, it is necessary to domesticate new wild edible mushroom species. Two isolates of Auricularia cornea collected from the forest in the Southeast of Vietnam were studied to assess their physiological characteristics and cultivation potential on rubber sawdust. The findings indicated that ABI-F000301 (white strain) and ABI-F000302 (brown strain) exhibited similar morphological traits, confirming their classification as Auricularia cornea based on phylogenetic analysis utilizing the ITS marker. Both strains demonstrated robust growth in MCM broth, maintaining a pH between 6 and 7 and thriving at 30ºC. The most effective substrates for mushroom propagation were identified as oat and paddy grain. The mycelial colonization times for these strains in a 1 kg nylon bag were 29.87 ± 1.19 days for the white strain and 31.6 ± 2.03 days for the brown strain. Incorporating rice bran and corn bran at a ratio of 1.5% into the rubber sawdust yielded results of 542.23 ± 121.72 g/kg substrate for ABI-F000301 and 671.41 ± 127.38 g/kg substrate for ABI-F000302. The biological efficiencies achieved were 84.8 ± 19.02% for the white strain and 102.45 ± 19.9% for the brown strain. These results demonstrate that both strains of Auricularia cornea possess considerable potential for mass cultivation.

The results of the study revealed that farmers who did not use the Magik Growth durian wrapping bag innovation had total costs of 37,647.48 baht per rai, resulting in an average yield of 1,420.41 kilograms per rai and a net profit of 164,999.25 baht per rai.

The findings indicated that the varying rates of cricket frass application affected parameters such as shoot height, shoot fresh weight, and shoot dry weight. The treatment that applied cricket frass at 48 kg ha-1 yielded the highest values for shoot height (49.52 cm), shoot fresh weight (31.89 g plant-1), and shoot dry weight (8.69 g plant-1). Considering the various periods for applying cricket frass before planting, the results showed that the timings significantly impacted only the shoot fresh weight. Applying cricket frass 0 day before transplanting (applying on the same day as transplanting) resulted in the highest shoot fresh weight (23.40 g plant-1). Additionally, interactions between the rate of cricket frass application and the timing of cricket frass application before planting were observed in relation to shoot height, shoot fresh weight, and shoot dry weight of kalmegh. Specifically, applying cricket frass at a rate of 48 kg ha-1 on the same day as transplanting led to the highest shoot fresh weight (34.46 g plant-1) and shoot dry weight (9.55 g plant-1). Therefore, cricket frass showed potential as a fertilizer for enhancing the yield of kalmegh (Andrographis paniculata) in low-fertility soils.

Leaf spot and wilt are the most destructive diseases affecting chrysanthemum crops in Thailand. The results revealed that two leaf spot pathogens were similar to Stemphylium lycopersici and Epicoccum sorghinum, while wilt pathogens were close to Fusarium solani and F. oxysporum. Among all the tested fungicides, S. lycopersici was sensitive to iprodione, whereas E. sorghinum was found to be susceptible to three fungicides: iprodione, difenoconazole, and mancozeb. Of the soilborne fungi, F. solani was sensitive only to chlorothalonil, whereas F. oxysporum was sensitive to four fungicides: chlorothalonil, difenoconazole, copper oxychloride, and mancozeb. The two fungicides that effectively controlled leaf spots caused by E. sorghinum on detached leaves were difenoconazole (1,000 ppm) and mancozeb (2,000 ppm), with 76.9 and 84.6% disease control, respectively. Furthermore, mancozeb (2,000 ppm) greatly suppressed the disease in pot conditions by 93.9%. This finding indicated that mancozeb is an effective fungicide for further use in rotation with difenoconazole as a part of the chrysanthemum disease management program in Nakhon Ratchasima and Loei provinces

The results indicated that long-term fertilization with vermicompost presented a positive correlation for fulvic acid more than humic acid. Fulvic acid as a part of humic substances can predict metal existence and its bioavailability in soil. In depth of 0-20cm, content of fulvic acid about 6.72 to 9.87%, higher than 20-40 cm about 3.78 to 6.84%. In vermicompost utilization, application 25 Ton ha-1 was not significantly differed from 5 Ton ha-1. Meanwhile, organic carbon started ranged 3.29 to 5.32% and 2.59 to 3.64% on soil depth 0-20cm and 20-40cm, respectively. Carbon stock at 0-20cm ranged about 53.02 to 88.29% and 34.02 to 64.30% at 20-40cm. Carbon, it consisted of total organic carbon (carbon stock) and lignin that caused a primary effect on humification processed. A positive correlation between level dose of vermicompost and soil depth for soil pH, fulvic acid, organic carbon, total nitrogen, carbon stock, and lignin showed that organic fertilizer can give a positive impact to remain soil health and quality.

Results revealed that the respondents needed training courses for fish crackers, dried fish strips, sour pickled fish, fish sausage, and fermented fish. They needed a 1-2 days training course at the training place in the village during the off-season for rice growing. The participants should be around 21-30 persons and the training program that informed at least one week in advance. Training activities should focus on actual practice (91.50%) and the training organizer must be responsible for expenses (99.02%). Each time of the training should have only one topic ( = 3.55; S.D = 1.08). Assessment through observation during the training should be done ( = = 3.77; S.D. = 0.58) and assessment after the training must be conducted ( =3.75, S.D. = 0.79), For the training session, it should include demonstration ( = 4.23, S.D. = 0.67) actual practice ( = 4.40, S.D. = 0.61) and diverse use of media ( = 4.29, S.D. = 0.68). According to the comparison, there was a statistical difference between the needs for training and the socio-economic attributes of the respondents. The latter included sex, educational attainment, farmer group membership, number of household labor, and debts or sources of loans. A training course for value-added processing of freshwater fish has tended to develop for future training sessions with farmers.

The minimum contamination percentage (25%) was recorded in the experiment using 0.2% mercuric chloride (HgCl2) for 20 min, which was observed to be a 50% germination rate after 2 weeks of culture. The maximum germination rate (68%) was obtained on Murashige and Skoog (MS) solid medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/L 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP), giving a shoot length of 48.00 mm. and root length of 31.40 mm. The optimal condition of nodal segment sterilization was recorded in the experiment using 0.1% HgCl2 for 10 min, which gave 80% survival explants. For shoot induction, it was worked on MS solid medium with 0.5 mg/L 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) that induced the highest average length of 11.31 mm. The highest root formation frequency (50%) and root length (3.0 mm) were achieved on an MS medium containing 2.0 mg/L indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). The plantlets were acclimatized and established in the soil.
