Increasing Cassava Yield by Research Knowledge Synthesis, Community Communication, and Geographic Information Systems in Kamphaeng Phet Province Areas

Abstract

The objectives of the study were to: select, analyze and synthesize information from research in order to enhance increasing cassava yield, determine cassava suitable areas in Kamphaeng Phet Province by Geographic Information Systems, create community communication to share knowledge from research into practicing process to increase cassava yield, and evaluated to community communication. The study found that 1) there were 16 pieces of research in increasing cassava yield, which supported knowledge to cassava farmers in all stages of production, and there were 7 fields, 2) cassava suitable areas in Kamphaeng Phet province which could be identified into 3 zones, 3) community communication that could transfer  knowledge from research into practicing cassava production process that consisted of 8 media types, and 4) evaluation of community communication was identified into levels of satisfaction good and very good.
