Abstract

The objectives of this research were to study rice seed production of farmers, members of Lampang Rice Seed Center, relationship between individual characteristics, social and economic factors with the success in rice seed production as well as problem, obstacles and suggestion. Population studied were collected farmers produce rice seed with Lampang Rice Seed Center, in rainy season of 2013 totaled 209 members. Data were collected by interview, statistically analyzed using percentage, mean, standard deviation, minimum, maximum, hypothesis testing by multiple regression analysis. From research findings, most members were male, averaged 56.38 years old, graduated in primary education 73.70 percent and rice seed production experience average 11.91 years. The average rice seed production area 14.42 rai by planted RD41, RD6 and Khao Dawk Mail 105, labors were 1.95 persons. The cost of seed production was averaged 3,959.20 Baht per rai and net income 112,501.78 Baht per family or 8,266.24 Baht per rai.
