2. Soil salinity level Decreased at Salinity level The salinity level has been reduced
the most more than 6 to be less than 3 dS/m until various

dS/m kinds of plants can be grown.

4.2 Off-site impact of using the technology

Aspect Impact Before After

1. Water which can be Greatly - Water at the soil surface of areas with
utilized. increased saline soil can be utilized. Water can be

used to control soil salinity, including
increasing organic matter to improve the

saline soil structure until various plants can
be grown.

2. Damages to neighboring Greatly - There is no use of pesticides and chemical
cultivation areas reduced fertilizers.

3. Impact of greenhouse Reduced - There is no burning of organic materials at

gas all. Helping reduce carbon dioxide release
and reduce the amount of greenhouse gas

emission

5. Acceptance of the technology and application

There is acceptance among farmers They implement the technology without receiving any
material or financial motivations. This is due to the fact that initial adjustment requires high

investment. There are off-site farmers who apply the technology in their own areas by land use
changes and types of plants from rice to integrated plants. However, land use changes must be

done gradually and there must also be systematic planning.
