Soil Amendment dari ThailandPERMASALAHAN OLEH PETANI

• Struktur tanah yang lemah / rosak

• Penyakit tanaman

• Pengurangan kualiti dan kuantiti hasil produk pertanian

• Peningkatan yang makin meningkat

• Penggunaan baja kimia dan racun

• Pendapatan yang tidak mencukupi

Kajian Saintis Thailand terhadap Permasalahan Petani dan Cara Mengatasinya

• Tahap pengetahuan petani terhadap amalan pertanian serta kefahaman terhadap pentingnya tanah adalah rendah – mereka perlu di didik.

• Penggunaan secara berterusan baja kimia telah memusnahkan kehidupan organisma dalam tanah dan menjadikan tanah makin tandus.

• Penggunaan baja NPK membantu memberi makanan terus kepada tanaman, dan dengan hanya segelintir bahan NPK tidak mempunyai nutrien yang lengkap untuk membantu tanaman dan tanah yang subur.

• Semakin banyak organisma dan mikro organisma di dalam tanah semakin banyak menyumbang keperluan nutrien dan mineral kepada tanaman.

• Organisma dan mikro organisma juga mamu meningkatkan daya tahan serangan penyakit dan tanaman makin sihat.

• Baja kimia NPK adalah makanan kepada tanaman dan bukannya makanan kepada mikrob dalam tanah.

Apakah MIKROB dan Apakah Peranan MIKROB

• Mikrob adalah bentuk kehidupan yang tertua di bumi ( lebih daripada 3.8 billion tahun)

• Mikrob adalah organisma mikro skopik, kulat, bakteria, protozoa dan virus jenis mikrob yang berbeza.

• Terdapat mikrob pemusnah (pathogen). Mikrob yang baik membantu haiwan dan manusia.

• Kombinasi antara mikrob-mikrob yang baik membantu petani-petani menghasilkan tanaman yang banyak.

• Mikrob mampu mengubah kopaun organik yang komplek seperti tanin, linguin, protein karbohidrat, selulos, pektin dan sebagainya kepada bentuk yang boleh digunakan oleh tumbuhan dalam proses pertumbuhan.

• Mikrob membantu menghasilkan tanah dengan menggabungkan secara fizikal jisim tanah. Mereka menghasilkan glomalin yang bertindak sebagai gam untk mencantum jisim tanah liat dan bahan organik.

Apakah SOIL CONDITIONER TAAVEEKUN

• Bukan bahan toksid, tidak mencemar alam dan diperbuat dari bahan mineral dan organik mottar.

• Mempunyai mineral mas, trace elemen dan mikrob untuk keperluan tanah dan tanaman.

• Mampu memulih struktur tanah yang gersang, tandus.(rosak)• Menyekat eco sistem semulajadi ( mikro organisma).• Mampu meningkat produktiviti tanaman.• Memperkuat sistem ketahanan dari segi penyakit, serangan

serangga dan cuaca panas/kemarau.• Compliment kepada penggunaan baja kimia sebagai supplement

bagi membantu tanaman menyerap baja NPK.• Mengalir nutrien secara perlahan dan bila perlu kepada tanaman.

Pengertian kandungan tanah subur

• Bukan sahaja mengandungi jisim mineral pejal, tetapi juga organisma yang mereput, hidupan organisma, air dan udara.

• Atau estetika lain mengandungi:

– JISIM MINERAL - Pasir dan tanah liat atau bahan “non- living” dari batu

– MIKROB - Bakteria, kulat dan alga– BINATANG - Cacing, serangga, ular dan

mamalia– JISIM ORGANIK - Jisim mereput yang

sebelumnya hidup– RUANG POROS - Ruang kosong yang dipenuhi

oleh air dan udara.

HISTORY OF DATES

• Dates have been a staple food of the Middle East for thousands of years. They are believed to have originated around the Persian Gulf, and have been cultivated since ancient times from Mesopotamia to prehistoric Egypt, possibly as early as 4000 BCE. The Ancient Egyptians used the fruits to be made into date wine, and ate them at harvest. The Egyptians also ate another fruit of the Palm Tree, The Fruits of The Doum Palm. There is archaeological evidence of date cultivation in eastern Arabia in 6000 BCE. (Alvarez-Mon 2006).

• In later times, Arabs spread dates around South and South West Asia, northern Africa, and Spain and Italy. Dates were introduced into Mexico and California by the Spaniards in 1765

• Dates in Chiangmai was planted early 2000. by mr Khun Sak Lumjuan

DATES IN THAILAND

Research InformationThai Date PalmsPlanting – Dig a 50 x 50 centimeter hole and line the bottom with manure or compost. Planting at 8 x 8 meter intervals will get 25 plants per rai. Date palms do not like excessively wet or damp areas.

Care and Maintenance – Date palms should be watered approximately every 5-7 days, or according to the dampness of soil. Quality date palms should be given sufficient water at a consistent rate.

Fertilizer – The use of manure will result in 1-2 kilograms of produce, twice a year, per tree; together with proper maintenance of soil and eradication of weeds surrounding each plant.

Trimming – Aged leaves of date palms tend to get dry and it is recommended that they are cut off to aid in the maintenance of plants, keeping it clean and reducing any possible problems that may arise from pests and insects, although date palms generally have very few problems with pests.

Harvesting – Based on the color of the date palm, fruits can be harvested when they have turned a dark yellow. The fruits are oval in shape and grow in bunches or clusters with 4 developmental phases consisting of unripe, mature, ripe, and dried, with the entire 4 periods from flowering to harvesting lasting between 7-8 months.

DATES IN THAILAND

Storage – Ripe date palms stored at 8 degrees Celsius can be kept for 1 year.

PollinationIn collecting male pollen, male plants flower before femaleplants and can be noticed when the blossom or spedix begins to protrude. When the blossom breaks open, within will be the flower with jagged petals. Cover the flower with a plastic bag and shake, the pollen will disperse inside the bag. Remove excess air within the bag,close and seal the bag and refrigerate.

DATES IN THAILAND

First Date Palms developed for fresh consumption, made possible in Thailand. Date palms are one of the many plants in the diverse palm family, originally found in the middle-eastern regions of Northern Africa, both as single trunks and clusters. The trunks grow to about 30 meters heightwith circumferences of between 30 – 50 cm. Flower clusters sprout from the base of leaves, with each trunk consisting of approximately 40 – 60 leave stems. The leaves can measure up to 30 – 50 centimetersand are shaped much like feathers while subsidiary leaves sprout in all directions. Date palms are commonly bred through the planting of seeds or shoots, producing rather slow developments. Thai date palms are often planted for gardening and ornamental purposes, with spade-shaped fruits of about 2 – 4 centimeters.

Ripe date palms mature from yellow to an orange colour and while edible, are not commonly consumed as the fruits are small and astringentin taste. The fruits distributed in department stores are preserved or processed date palms with an extremely sweet taste,often imported from abroad, with high prices of approximately 500 – 600 baht per kilogram,highest in quality being imported from Israel.

Khun Sak Lumjuan the agriculturalist and owner of “Date Farm” farm, located in Thailand, briefly outlined that after graduating as the 36th class from Maejo University and beginning his career in retail as the owner of a distribution outlet of agricultural tools, he began to think that date palms, commonly grown for ornamental purposes, should also be freshly consumed or processed as done abroad. With that thought, he began planting date palms, starting with 30 trees, planted in plots with a distance of 8 x 8 meters.

DATES IN THAILAND

Receiving advice from Professor Nutthawut Pasayawan, the Director of the Office of Biotechnological Research and Development within the Department of Agriculture. Professor Pasayawan provided guidelines on new breeding methods that would aid in the pollination of the female flower by placing the male pollen inside a plastic bag and refrigerating it until the female flower has fully matured before covering the female flower with the plastic bag in which the male pollen has been stored. This process aids in the production of numerous date palm fruits which.When fully mature, can be used for further breeding, gaining ideal breeding plants to be used for phase 2. Date palms planted in phase 2 produce fruits that have various beneficial qualities and are easy to plant, much like coconuts. To enable rapid development, the plot in which the date palm is to be planted should be lined with manure and compost or organic fertilizers, avoiding humid and soggy areas,

and providing a moderate amount of water with only a slight increase during periods of drought.The leaves of these date palm trees are of a whiter colour than ornamental date palms and when positioned in direct sunlight or light, the leave will turn an illuminated white. In comparison to the planting of date palms abroad, the total amount of time from planting to fruition is 3 years,whereas elsewhere it is said to take up to 7 years. Aside from the ability to provide fruits 2 times annually, there have been no recorded instances of infestations of pestsor diseases. The first harvest is towards the end of January while the second harvest is in early July, whereasdate palms planted abroad can only be harvested once a year.

DATES IN THAILAND

The date palms are produced in large quantities with large fruits, lots of flesh, and small seeds . When mature, the fruits turn a dark yellow and can be consumed, once the flesh is soft and crisp, without removing the skin. Ripe date palms turn brown and experience an increase in sweetness, measured at approximately 17-20 Brix. If stored at around 8 degrees Celsius, the fruits can be kept for up to 1 year without being preserved. Aside from being able to freshly consume date palms, these fruits also contain qualities that aid in the reduction of thirst and dehydration, as well as the reduction of phlegm. Current developments have been coordinated with the Department of Agriculture to certify this date palm as a species and as an organic plant species that contains no chemicals and pesticides, in hopes that the stability and characteristics of this species may enable further reproduction through means of tissue cultivation.

DATES IN THAILAND

With the present uncertainty in the world food supply and the expected increase in demand, the date palm could be a good source of food of high nutritional value. In fact, date fruit is rich in nutrients, and due to its dietetic values it has always been held in high esteem by people. Compared to other fruits and foods (apricot: 520 calories/kg; banana: 970 calories/kg; orange: 480 calories/kg; cooked rice: 1,800 calories/kg; wheat bread: 2,295 calories/kg; meat (without fat): 2,245 calories/kg, dates give more than 3,000 calories per kilogram.

The date fruit consists of 70 % carbohydrates (mostly sugars), making it one of the most nourishing natural foods available to man. The water content is between 15 to 30 % depending on the variety and on the maturity stage of the fruit.

In most varieties, the sugar content of a date fruit is almost entirely of the inverted form (namely glucose and fructose), important for persons who cannot tolerate sucrose The invert sugar in dates is immediately absorbed by the human body without being subjected to the digestion that ordinary sugar undergoes.

The flesh of dates contains 60 to 65 % sugar, about 2.5 % fibre, 2 % protein and less than 2 % each of fat, minerals, and pectin substances. Date fruits are also a good source of iron, potassium and calcium, with a very low sodium and fat content. In addition, moderate quantities of chlorine, phosphorous, copper, magnesium, silicon and sulphur are also found in the date fruit

Date nutritional value

• Date fruit is called a mine in itself because it is very rich in minerals. Its phosphorous content is similar to that found in the same quantity of apricots, pears and grapes put together.

• Its high content of magnesium (±600 mg/1kg of dates) could also be very beneficial. Date consumers in

Saharan areas are known to have the lowest rate of cancer diseases, a fact attributed to the magnesium found in dates.

• With only 1 mg of sodium per 100 g , dates are good food for those on a low sodium diet. The iron content of 3 mg per 100g is almost a third of the Recommended Dietary Allowance for an adult male. Note that fibre, even though it is not a nutrient for humans, is of much value in a diet as an aid to digestion and evacuation. There is ample evidence that for most persons a diet fairly high in fibre is healthier than one low in fibre.

• Furthermore, dates are a good source of vitamins A, B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), and B7 (nicotinic acid also called niacin). The following contents per kilogram are an average for all date varieties: vitamin A, 484 international units; B1, 0.77 milligram (mg); B2, 0.84 mg; and B7, 18.9 mg.

• According to Genske and Weers, (1973), one kilogram of the flesh of ripe Deglet Noor dates contains the following: water (220g), sugar (730g; 2740 calories), proteins (22g), Fats (2g) and minerals (19g,) K 6480mg), P (630mg), Ca (590mg), Mg (580mg), Fe (30mg) and Na (10mg)), vitamin A (500 units), vitamin B1 (0.9mg), vitamin B2 (1mg) and vitamin B7 (22mg).

Traditional medicinal uses

• Dates have a high tannin content and are used medicinally as a

detersive (having cleansing power) and astringent in intestinal troubles.[

citation needed] As an infusion, decoction, syrup, or paste, dates may be administered for sore throat, colds, bronchial catarrh, and taken to relieve fever and a number of other complaints.[citation needed] One traditional belief is that it can counteract alcohol intoxication. The seed powder is also used in some traditional medicines.

• A gum that exudes from the wounded trunk is employed in India for treating diarrhea and genito-urinary ailments.[citation needed] The roots are used against toothache. The pollen yields an estrogenic principle, estrone, and has a gonadotropic effect on young rats.

In North Africa the sap obtained from tapping palm trees is known as lāgbī (pronounced [laːɡbiː]). If left for a sufficient period of time (typically hours, depending on the temperature) lāgbī easily becomes an alcoholic drink. Special skill is required when tapping the palm tree so that it does not die.

2) Stripped fruit clusters are used as brooms. In Pakistan, a viscous, thick syrup made from the ripe fruits is used as a coating for leather bags and pipes to prevent leaking.

Date palm sap is used to make palm syrup and numerous edible products derived from the syrup.

3) Date palm leaves are used for Palm Sunday in the Christian religion. In North Africa, they are commonly used for making huts. Mature leaves are also made into mats, screens, baskets and fans. Processed leaves can be used for insulating board. Dried leaf petioles are a source of cellulose pulp, used for walking sticks, brooms, fishing floats and fuel. Leaf sheaths are prized for their scent, and fibre from them is also used for rope, coarse cloth, and large hats.

4) Date palm wood is used for posts and rafters for huts; it is lighter than coconut and not very durable. It is also used for construction such as bridges and aqueducts, and parts of dhows. Leftover wood is burnt for fuel.
