Abstract
Management of oil palm plantation of farmers in Trat province was divided into 2 groups. The preparation of the water system in the plot, namely 1) the use of flooding system by water pump pumping water from canals and making narrow draining arrays leading to oil palms 2) collecting water by creating water ways (1-1.5 metres in dept) one water way per 2 rows of oil palms in order to collect water in raining season, however ; drainers were available in case of the excessive level of water 3) the use of sprinklers by connecting main pipes with PVC and PV pipes to pump water from water sources into each oil palm; sprinklers, mini-sprinklers, and drippers. Factors affecting the decision on irrigation were awareness, knowledge and cost. But the group who did not create irrigation was because of teh costs and sufficient rainfalls for more than 6 months.
