Innovation Model of Organic Agriculture According to the King's Science to Smart Farm for Small Farmers, Ubon Ratchathani Province

Abstract

This research aims to study the innovation model, develop innovation, and assess the performance of the prototype of organic agriculture according to the King's science to smart agriculture for small farmers in Ubon Ratchathani Province. The results can be summarized as follows: study the innovation model the King's science to smart agriculture using technology to help agriculture for small farming areas of about 13 rai, divide the areas into 4 parts with a ratio of 30:30:30:10. An area of 3 rai for digging a pool using a solar-powered system for pumping. Then divide the area 4 rai for farming, 4 rai for mixed crops, and the area of 2 rai is for housing, raising animals, growing vegetables, ornamental flowers, and planting greenhouses. The develop innovation, and to assess the performance of the prototype found that, when bringing renewable energy systems to help in pumping water, the system has a maximum voltage of 372 volts, maximum power of 2,640-watts, and can submersible pump power a 1,500-watt summer with 10,000 liters of water per hour. After using the solar system, the average monthly electricity bill was reduced to 683 baht from 1,650 baht, a reduction of 59%. The intelligent control system in the greenhouse can view data and operate via a smartphone. The results of the control system found that the system will activate the water pump when the humidity is below 80 percent, stop when the humidity reaches 200%, and the system will trigger the ventilation fan to work when the temperature exceeds 30 degrees Celsius.
