Activities and details of the operation

Mr. Mana Siangsunthia is a farmer who has implemented the knowledge obtained from
being a soil doctor stationed at Non Thai district, Nakhon Ratchasima province to build

opportunities for himself and farmers in the area. The problem of soil degradation in areas with
saline soil originates from chemical and physical degradation and low fertility which are main

limitations for land use, including shortage of water in the dry season and spell of rain in the

cropping season. This has been brought an association of farmers ready to learn about increasing
soil management potentials to increase plant yields and solve problems in their own occupation

areas. The group is supported in terms of factor of production, namely LDD microbial activators
