Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate knowledge, attitude, and level of practice regarding good agricultural practices (GAP) of rice farmers under large agricultural plot scheme (LAPS) in Khlongudomchonlajorn, Chachoengsao Province, Thailand. Data were collected by using questionnaires from 38 farmers during the period from March to July 2019, and analysed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that the knowledge levels of the respondents were medium (65.8%), high (26.3%) and low (7.9%). In addition, it was found that most of the farmers had a positive attitude (55.3% strongly agreed and 44.7% agreed) towards GAP for rice. Farmers produced rice according to GAP standards at a high level (52.6%), the highest level (39.5%) and a moderate level (7.9%). The farmers performed practices regarding the inspection of water quality and harmful contamination (average score = 2.16) and the recording of plantation area codes and information (average score = 2.55) with a low level of compliance.
