    Using descriptive analysis, the results revealed that the rice production database, accessible through the mobile application, incorporates critical variables encompassing plantation areas, variable and fixed costs, total costs, yields, selling prices, income, profitability or loss, and breakeven points. The assessment of acceptance across three dimensions included content, technical and physical attributes, and perceived ease of use, that the farmers consistently demonstrated the highest level of acceptance for the mobile application. In terms of satisfaction assessment, encompassing design, content, performance, and utility, the findings uniformly indicated that farmers expressed substantial satisfaction with the rice production database accessible via the mobile application. Farmers’ feedback underscored the application’s user-friendliness and its potential for aiding production planning in subsequent seasons. Moreover, the facilitating the adoption of innovative platforms, and policymakers can empower farmers with tools to enhance productivity and induce satisfaction and confidence in modern agricultural practices.

    The findings revealed important distinctions between the two groups of farmers. Rubber farmers who opted for ethylene gas incurred a total cost of 13,973.50 baht, comprising a total fixed cost of 1,202.02 baht and a total variable cost of 12,771.48 baht. These farmers achieved a total return of 17,955 baht per rai. On the other hand, rubber farmers who refrained from using ethylene gas reported a significantly different financial performance. For this group, the total cost amounted to 9,813.49 baht, consisting of a total fixed cost of 1,202.02 baht and a total variable cost of 8,611.48 baht, while the total return per rai amounted to 10,299.57 baht. Statistical analysis indicated that the total variable costs and returns for rubber cultivation significantly differed between the two groups of farmers at a significant level of .05. However, there was no statistically significant difference in the total fixed costs. Extension services and training programmes should be provided to educate farmers on the proper and safe use of ethylene gas to maximise its benefits and minimise potential risks. Furthermore, further research could explore the long-term sustainability and environmental impact of using ethylene gas in rubber cultivation to better understand its overall implications for the industry.
