Study of the effects of irrigation on the growth and yield of kale. Assessment of water footprint and carbon footprint of low water use crop plots and guidelines for utilization in Ubon Ratchathani Province. Kale was planted in Hugelkultur plots in cement ponds by arranging planting materials, namely logs, branches, and chopped leaves, in layers and covering them with soil mixed with manure. Plan a CRD experiment by giving water in five different ways: Methods 1- 3, giving the same amount of water two times (morning-evening), totaling 2, 2.5, and 3 liters/day (morning-evening); methods 4 and 5, giving water one time 3 liters (morning) and 3 liters (evening). Compared with the control plot, watering two times (morning-evening) for a total of 3 liters/day, it was found that The Hugelkultur plot, method 1, yielded less than the control plot at 352.59 m3/ton yield of 3.76 tons/rai, but the plot with the lowest water footprint was 3.76 tons/rai. 229.88 cubic meters/ton yielding 2.44 tons/rai, similar to the control plot with a water footprint of 352.59 cubic meters/ton yielding 3.76 tons/rai, the lowest carbon footprint of 112.34 kg.CO2eq./kg. Kale. The planting material was used as a renewable material in 640 m3/rai. Hugelkultur plots can be used in rural and urban areas. To reduce material disposal by burying or burning. Reduce carbon dioxide emissions and make the most of it according to the circular economy approach.
