SFB 564: B2.2 - Lateral water flow and transport of agrochemicals in an orchard on a hillside in northern Thailand (Project)
n the mountainous regions of Northern Thailand land use has changed significantly in the last decades. Traditional shifting cultivation has been transformed into intensive agricultural systems with permanent cropping and no or short fallow periods. This change in land use has been accompanied by an increased input of agrochemicals (e.g. pesticides). Particularly in sloped areas agrochemicals may...

SFB 564: A1.3 - Potential and constraints of participatory research approaches: Potential and constraints of participatory research approaches for sustainable development in mountainous regions of Southeast Asia: Addressing issues of scale (Project)
In this overarching subproject the potential and limits of participatory research approaches are investigated. Institutional arrangements that are conducive to integrating local stakeholders (female and male farmers, extension services, state agencies and NGOs) into the research process are developed and tested. Research focuses on the question which form and intensity of participation in which...

SFB 564: F1.2 - Tenure and economic valuation of common-pool resources in mountainous regions of Thailand and Vietnam (Project)
The first phase of subproject F1 in Thailand - focusing on general interactions between land, water and forest rights - has shown that control, ownership and use rights of water in the northern Thai uplands are characterized by a high complexity which questions the general conception of water as a public good. Private, communal, state and open access rights are interacting in both complementary...

SFB 564: F1.4 - Optimizing the use of direct methods for environmental valuation in northern Thailand and Vietnam (Project)
There are two main methodological objectives of this project. The first objective is to improve the validity and reliability of environmental valuation using the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM). The second objective is to decrease the cost of CVM surveys. As instruments to accomplish these goals different forms and intensities of citizen participation in the whole valuation process are employed...

SFB 564: B4.1 - Land vulnerability and land suitability analysis in Northern Vietnam (Project)
As populations are steadily increasing in Vietnam, farming land becomes scarce and new areas are opened up for cultivation, mainly in mountainous regions. On the fragile steep slopes deforestation and soil erosion are the well-known consequences. Land use in Yen Chau District, the study area in Son La Province, has significantly changed in the last decades. Until now, mainly soil degradation is...

SFB 564: T1 - Development of automated control systems for water saving irrigation of fruit orchards (Project)
Fruit production is an important source of income for small and medium scale farmers in the northern part of Thailand and accounts for an important share of the country’s foreign exchange revenues from export. Most of fruit production is taking place during the dry season under irrigation. With an increasing acreage and more intensive production, water is becoming scarce and natural water bodies...

SFB 564: T2 - Development of energy-efficient systems for high-quality fruit drying (Project)
A considerable part of the fruit harvest in Northern Thailand is dried in small scale food processing industries for preservation and post-harvest value-addition. However, energy consumption is high and product quality is heterogeneous. Objective of the transfer project is to improve drying facilities jointly with a manufacturer by using the simulation tools developed in subproject E1 of SFB 564....

SFB 564: T3 - Integrated tropical fruit processing by recovery of food ingredients from processing residues, particularly from mango peels (Project)
For value-adding by-product utilisation in industrial tropical fruit processing, strategies are to be developed and evaluated to reduce waste volumes and to make high-value components, especially of mango peels, available for a use as food and feed ingredients. As a prerequisite, a process for the economic production of dried fruit residues of constant quality is to be developed. To deduce...

SFB 564: D6.2 - Causes, effects and prevention of premature fruit drop in mango (Project)
The research effort attempts to provide some understanding of specific plant processes involved in fruit drop of mango (Mangifera indica L.) in response to environmental and/or crop management triggers. The focus is aimed at combining expertise in hormone, carbohydrate and molecular physiology and applying it to detailed field and laboratory studies. In addition, fruit quality will be evaluated...

SFB 564: F2.1 - Rural finance and sustainable rural development in Northern Vietnam (Project)
This research will focus on analysing the conditions of effective financial market functioning in rural Vietnam serving rural economic development with particular emphasis on sustainable agricultural production systems. The sub-project (SP) will first analyse the factors that determine access to financial services by farm households. Secondly, it will assess the financial needs and access...
