Maha Sarakham, 15 Oct. - Divided the rice field to grow morning glory, only 3 ngan, harvested and sold, earning income every day. In addition, the morning glory scraps from cutting and selling can be used as food, reducing the cost of raising fish, and saving money. Morning glory plantation on 3 ngan of Mrs. Wilai Noising, 52 years old, a villager of Ban Non Kan, Wiang Sa-at Subdistrict, Phayakkhaphumiphisai District, Maha Sarakham Province. It used to be a rice field of 11 rai in the Thung Kula Rong Hai area. She divided it to raise fish. There is an artesian well that pumps water using solar energy. Phi Wilai said that she turned to growing morning glory as another source of income because the cost of rice farming has been increasing every year. So she found an additional job by studying on the internet. She found that growing morning glory can be harvested and sold every day. So she changed her rice field from 1 ngan to growing morning glory until it expanded to 3 ngan, earning 500 baht per day. Growing morning glory is divided into 1 ngan plots, totaling 3 plots, by plowing the ground, plowing with a harrow, and then planting the morning glory stalks, leaving a distance of about 3 meters between clumps. When the morning glory is about 7 days old, start fertilizing with cow manure from the raised plants to accelerate growth. In the 2nd week, spread cow manure again all over the plot. The next day, release water from a solar-powered well into the planting plot, bringing the water level to about the shin level so that the morning glory will start to sprout. In the 4th week, you can start selling, making an income of 400-500 baht per day. You send it to vendors at the fresh market, selling it for 10 baht per bunch, or selling 10 bunches for 70 baht. The remaining morning glory after picking the tops is used as fish food, helping to reduce costs and making you have at least 10,000 baht left over each month. - Thai News Agency c Source: Thai News Agency
