Abstract

The objectives of this research were to study and analysis about the limitations, problems, and obstacles of killing fungus in sweet tamarind before applying radio frequency technology combined with low temperature plasma technology at the field levels and to present guidelines for preventing and reducing conflicts from the use of technology based on the concept of Collaborative management. This study was a qualitative research methodology. Data collection methods were used: (1) Focus Group, (2) In-depth Interview, and (3) Participant observation. The group of key informants was purposively selected, which was divided into four groups of tamarind farmers in Phetchabun Province: (1) Lom-Kao District 64 people, (2) Lom-Sak District 30 people, (3) Mueang District 22 people, and (4) Chon Daen District 7 people. Total of key informants were 123 people. Data were examined by the triangulation method and analyzed the data by content analysis.


The research results were found that limitations, problems, and obstacles of killing fungi in sweet tamarind before application of the technology has 3 stages: (1) Before fruiting stage, (2) During fruiting stage, and (3) After fruiting stage. These influences upgrading the development of fungicide systems in tamarind in 3 issues: (1) Economic; Cost of soaking tamarind in cold storage, (2) Environment; Burning moldy tamarind peels, and (3) Society and culture; Stroking a moldy tamarind and the belief that white mold and brown mold can be eaten.
