which fall in the period May to October. The average temperature is from a minimum of
17.0 º C in December and January to a maximum of 35.9 º C in the March and April. There
is no source of irrigation, so cropping is a wet season activity.
The study site is divided into 5 zones as follows:
Zone Characteristics of zone Village selected
# 1 The area is deep sand. Cropping patterns are rice + plantation 1. Ban Mak Mai
and forest. The forest trees are eucalyptus and cashew nut. 2. Ban Mek Yai
# 2 This area lies along the Lam Dom Yai River. Soil has high
fertility. It is a wet area. The dominant cropping system is rice
/upland crop (field crop) such as vegetable, cassava or kenaf.
# 3 The area is partly upland rice. The cropping system is an
encroached forest area.
# 4 This area has an intensive rice system. There is low tree
