Develop quality safe grapefruit production standards with a low-cost smartagriculture system: Tub Tim Siam Pomelo

Economic and Social Upgrading Ready to develop export quality safe grapefruit production standards with a low-cost smart agriculture system (Khlong Noi sub-district, Pak Phanang district of Nakhon Si Thammarat province) Project leads by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Warin Intana, Walailak University is a project that brings innovative bio-killing products against 3 types of fungi, namely 1. Trichoderma NST-009 that is highly effective in controlling various plant diseases. 2. Beauveria sp. and 3. Metharhizium sp. fungi are highly effective in controlling insect pests. By transferring the technology to the production process of each type of fungi. The most effective use of pest control, management of soil quality to be suitable for planting. as well as to find ways to reduce costs and increase the value of crops for 80 farmers, covering the area of ​​Khlong Noi Subdistrict, Pak Phanang District, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, including the group of pomelo growers “Tubtim Siam” in order to obtain quality produce that meets agricultural safety standards.
