“…This is because it is the slasher who provides the labor for the harvesting process. (Promkhambut et al 2023) concluded five factors causing the success of small farmers in Thailand in maintaining their land, namely access to resources, labor in the agricultural sector, agricultural inputs, agricultural funding, and government support. Zou et al (2018) stated that the limited workforce/subsequent farmers caused a decrease in the number of workers, but the grain subsidy policy by the government in China caused an increase in land rental by older farmers.…”

The majority of rice farmers in Denpasar City chose a practical marketing system, this system implements rice sales based on estimated production results. Farmers generally sell their produce when the rice is approaching harvest time. The buyer determines the purchase price for rice by estimating the number of transaction objects after carefully observing and viewing the rice to be harvested. With this system, farmers no longer need to think about the availability of labor to harvest, transport the harvest home, dry the grain until it reaches a certain level of dryness. The novelty of this research is conducting in-depth research on the practice of buying and selling rice using a practical marketing system in Denpasar City. This research will also examine in depth the practical marketing system from two sides, namely from the perspective of farmers and buyers. The results of this research reveal that the practice of buying and selling rice using a practical marketing system in Denpasar City involves farmers as sellers and buyers who are usually called penebas. The reason why farmers choose a practical marketing system is that this system is considered more profitable for farmers with all the limitations of farming in urban areas, where farmers only need to care for the rice they plant until it is ready to harvest.

“…Brazil's encounter with land tenure regularization and agrarian reform programs has underscored the potential advantages of secure land rights in fostering investment and productivity in agriculture (Reydon et al, 2015). Likewise, Thailand's endeavours to foster agricultural cooperatives and extension services have contributed to augmenting farmers' capacities and amplifying food production (Promkhambut et al, 2023). Comprehending how distinct models of socialized agricultural services have impacted food security and agricultural productivity across varied socio-economic and agro-ecological contexts is imperative for informing effective policy decisions and interventions.…”

Revolutionary agricultural structural reforms in the supply chain and cutting-edge institutional mechanisms are pivotal in catalyzing a quantum leap in food production. China’s focus on achieving self-sufficiency in grain production for domestic security necessitates structural reforms in the agricultural supply chain and innovative institutional mechanisms. The emergence of socialized agricultural institutions plays a pivotal role in providing essential services to smallholder farmers. However, a dearth of studies evaluating the efficacy of these services in enhancing grain production exists. This study aims to fill this gap by analyzing provincial panel data from China spanning 2011 to 2020 to evaluate the impact of Agricultural Socialized Services (ASS) development levels on grain production. Employing panel and panel threshold models for empirical analysis, the research investigates how this impact varies between major grain-producing regions and non-major grain-producing regions. Findings indicate a significant positive effect of ASS on grain production, with a correlation coefficient of 1.3555. While its impact is less pronounced in grain-producing regions, it proves beneficial in non-grain regions. Moreover, the transfer of farmland use rights amplifies ASS’s influence on grain production, with a threshold value of 33.18%. The study concludes by outlining policy implications from various perspectives, providing practical recommendations for policymakers and stakeholders in the agricultural sector.

“…Atrazine, at a concentration of 50 mg/kg, reduced the number of secondary metabolites and the plant dry weight of Andrographis paniculata (Tripathi et al, 2021). Atrazine is also toxic to rice, an economically important crop in Thailand and other countries in Southeast Asia (Promkhambut et al, 2023). The residues of atrazine in paddy soil resulting from rice-corn rotation (Breidenbach et al, 2017) may lead to a decrease in rice yield due to the reported toxicity of atrazine to rice (Ma et al, 2019).…”

The presence of atrazine residue in agricultural soil may affect crop growth and the activity of plant growth-promoting bacteria. Therefore, this study investigated the impact of atrazine contamination on indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) production by Bacillus stercoris B.PNR2. Subsequently, the ability of B. stercoris B.PNR2 to stimulate the seedling growth of rice cultivars RD6 and Leum Pua, as well as the waxy corn cultivar Muang Tam, under atrazine contamination, was determined. The results showed that B. stercoris B.PNR2 produced IAA under various atrazine concentrations, and atrazine was not toxic to B. stercoris B.PNR2 cells. Atrazine at 20 mg/kg of soil did not affect the shoot and root dry weight of rice cultivars RD6 and Leum Pua, as well as the waxy corn cultivar Muang Tam grown in atrazine-contaminated soil without receiving a bacterial inoculum. The application of B. stercoris B.PNR2 did not stimulate the germination and growth of any of the plants used in this study. The application of B. stercoris B.PNR2 decreased the shoot and root dry weight of waxy corn grown under atrazine-contaminated soil. Additionally, the chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll content in rice cultivar RD6, grown under atrazine-contaminated soil, decreased to only 162.6 ± 4.2 and 616.0 ± 55.8 μg/g fresh weight, which was related to the increase in proline content to 343.6 ± 41.6 μg/g fresh weight. In conclusion, it can be stated that soaking seeds with B. stercoris B.PNR2 was not an appropriate means of inoculation to stimulate the growth of plants in this study.
