The Technology of Growing Hydroponics Vegetables DRFT

NRCT enhances the technology of growing hydroponics vegetables DRFT “MOU” sparks knowledge to the community Currently, soil vegetable production has many limitations and obstacles for farmers. because it can’t be operated all year round. and unsuitable soil quality problems such as very acidic, saline soil, heavy metals, and pesticide residues. There is an imbalance of nutrients in the soil, etc., as well as problems of water shortage and flooding, as well as the occurrence of diseases and pests of vegetables. Produced vegetables tend to have higher nitrate levels. As a result, consumers lack confidence in the quality and safety of vegetables.

Dr. Wiparat Deeong, director of the Research Office

Dr. Wiparat Deeong, director of the National Research Office, said that NRCT under cooperation with The Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC) is well aware of the problems and needs of the community. Therefore, they work together to drive and solve problems for sustainable development. Foreseeing that the research of DRFT Hydroponics Vegetable Production System is safe throughout the production chain. both to the manufacturer consumers and environment produce products that meet the needs of consumers including creating food security in the area and strengthening the local economy, which is in line with the national development policy in driving the economy with innovation to lead Thailand 4.0 CU, as the country’s important research and innovation funding agency. and promote and transfer knowledge for the benefit Therefore, funds have been provided to support activities to promote and support research for this project. The results achieved the objective of driving research and innovation into the community.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Atchara Pengnu, Lecturer of the Faculty of Natural Resources Prince of Songkla University As the project leader said, Hydroponics vegetable growing system with water circulation or Dynamic Root Floating Technique (DRFT) is a system that circulates nutrient solution through plant roots. There is a valve to adjust the water level. and a pump to increase oxygen The average electricity bill is only 1 baht per day, suitable for growing all kinds of vegetables. The research team has designed the structure and prepared a vegetable growing kit. Organize the nutrient supply system in the form of solutions into 3 groups, namely macronutrients, micronutrients, and micronutrients. Pest and disease control in plants by using extended B-veggie bio-based products. To prevent and control root rot and leaf spot. Management of the vegetable production system from planting to harvesting therefore without using chemical pesticides Vegetables produced with nitrate content do not exceed the standard. Therefore, vegetable planting technology has been installed and installed in community areas in 9 provinces, 14 groups, namely Phatthalung, Phichit, Chiang Mai, Phayao, Suphan Buri, Sa Kaeo, Buriram, Sisaket, and Kalasin, with continuous knowledge and follow-up. by receiving research funding from the National Research Office The Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation (NIDA) together with the Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC) in liaising with each community.

more and the vegetables are tastier. which if planted in the soil takes 45-55 days. The design structure of the system to facilitate cultivation moveable suitable for an aging society and modern farmers, however, require care from caregivers as well. make sure to take notes to learn at the same time so that farmers can produce quality and safe vegetables by themselves

The DRFT water circulation planting set has a structure of 1.2 x 3.4 meters, covered with a cloudy plastic roof structure. Then install a circulating water system for the vegetable nutrient solution by using a water pump. Soak in the solution tank Then connect the pump pipe to feed the system. Circulate through each trench to pass through each root. and drain through the water level control valve. Return to the nutrient solution storage tank throughout the planting life. Now the planting kit has been delivered. with seedling equipment nutrient solution storage tank nutrients for vegetables and vegetable seeds farmers in many provinces there is more and more success. It can be seen by bringing the products that have been given to field hospitals. adding planting kits distribution of produce Including the extension to grow vegetables and other herbs as well.
