    Research findings showed that the agricultural teaching modules on laying hen farming, catfish farming, vegetable growing, quail farming and agricultural yield processing could develop agricultural skills of the students at a moderate up to a highest level. The data collection in the past 5 years found that the students preferred and developed the agricultural skills in activities on laying hen farming the most (64.80%). Overall, about 40% of the students had a good level of agricultural skills ( x =3.52; S.D =1.452). Only 11.27% needed teacher's suggestions and prompting on agricultural practice. It was found that the student's learning achievement after the promotion was higher than before, with a statistically significant difference level at 0.05. Most of the students (80.28%) could do farming well with their parents, while only 8.45% could do farming independently. Parents of the students were satisfied with agricultural skill development of the students at a high level ( x =3.65; S.D.=0.308); with the highest level of reason due to its being diverse and continual to gain experience in agricultural career ( x =4.54; S.D.=0.581). For problems encountered after graduation, most of the students lacked of continuity in agricultural careers and agricultural development (65.50%). For suggestions about agricultural skill development, teaching and learning activities should be arranged in small size. Furthermore, diverse agricultural skills should be promoted to benefit in the daily life activities of the students (90%).

    Biochars can be used as soil amendments for improving soil properties and crop yield. The objective of this research was to study the plant growth, yield, yield components, and seed quality, including nutrients and heavy metals (Pb, Cd, and Hg), in the soybean plant (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) and soil. The experiment was conducted from September 2010 to January 2011 in a greenhouse located in the Dan Khun Thot District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Thailand. The research comprised six treatments with four replicates in a completely randomized design. Quail litter biochar (QLB) at rates of 0, 24.6, 49.2, 73.8, 98.4 and 123 g per pot mixture were provided to soybean cv. Chiang Mai 60. The results showed that QLB could be used as a soil fertility improvement and amendment for soybean production with an optimum rate of 98.4 g per pot mixture, which gave the best performance in terms of the number of nodes, height, DM accumulation, total yield, and seed quality. After the experiment, the nutrient contents in the soil increased as the QLB content increased, but the heavy metal residues in the leaves and seeds did not change. However, QLB at levels higher than 98.4 g per pot mixture is not advisable because QLB is alkaline in nature, which may affect soil pH.

    The results were found that guidelines for developing agricultural resources emphasized the local community participation to promote agro-tourism. There was a group formation to create activities focusing on positive and negative impacts, participation, and self-reliance. Tourism was used as a medium for arranging the management activities of agricultural resources and care-taking of natural resources, benefiting the community and creating value-added agricultural yields. Potential agricultural resources included the value of the body of knowledge, innovation, agricultural wisdom, the value of physical and biological aspects of agriculture, and agricultural resources management by farmers. Meanwhile, potential agricultural resources for tourism included creating and managing agro-tourism attractions. It was also found that the data providers on the potential agricultural resources and tourism potential were statistically significance differed at 0.05 level. It was also found that the difference in the data provider groups affected the various essential supporting services of agro-tourism attractions and agricultural resources with a statistical significance level at 0.05 level. Besides, it was found that the farmer group had different opinions in potentially agricultural resources based on supporting services of agro-tourism attractions compared to the tourism group with a statistical significance at 0.05 level. Moreover, those supporting and promoting agro-tourism had different opinions compared to the farmers' group, with a statistical significance at 0.01 level. An agricultural resource management model for agro-tourism promotion consisted of four main components: 1) management participation, 2) efficiency service, 3) potential, and 4) value and attraction. Besides, there were essential sustainability guidelines that focused on promoting knowledge, participation, self-reliance, and on-going counseling.

    The Delphi technique is employed in this study to find an appropriate process of knowledge management in broiler production of Thailand. It is a specific agricultural knowledge management, which is different from other types of knowledge that are mostly accumulated knowledge gained from practice and problem solving. Different factors based on current situation are used to select an appropriate process with tacit knowledge management. It can aid problem solving in practice as the explicit knowledge can be transferred and connected to a method of cause analysis and thus address challenges related to broiler production. This helps develop the production system and knowledge transfer to benefit a new generation of animal husbandry practitioners. Results of the study show that the creation of the knowledge management process in broiler production involved seven steps: knowledge indication, knowledge creation and acquisition, knowledge codification and refinement, systematic knowledge management, knowledge access knowledge sharing, and learning process. A very high level ofconsistency in the value of opinions of specialists on knowledge management was found. Specific knowledge must be kept to construct innovative ideas for broiler production and development. This is to ensure safe food production and food security support, which results in sustainable production of safe meat.

    Particle exposure can lead to a variety of health effects. For example, numerous studies link particle levels to increased hospital admissions and emergency room visits - and even to death from heart or lung diseases. Scrap tire combustion releases several toxic air pollutants. This study assessed the generation of H<inf>2</inf>, N<inf>2</inf>, CO, H<inf>2</inf>S and nine aliphatic compounds, namely CH4 (Methane), C<inf>2</inf>H<inf>2</inf> (Acetylene), C<inf>2</inf>H<inf>4</inf> (Ethylene), C<inf>2</inf>H<inf>6</inf> (Ethane), C<inf>3</inf>H<inf>6</inf> (Propylene), C<inf>3</inf>H<inf>8</inf> (Propane), C<inf>4</inf>H<inf>8</inf> (Butene), C<inf>4</inf>H<inf>10</inf> (Butane), C<inf>5</inf>H<inf>12</inf> (Pentane) generated in a used-tire pyrolysis process and the aliphatics removal by a wet scrubber (WSB) and a flare. CH<inf>4</inf>, H<inf>2</inf>, N<inf>2</inf> and C<inf>2</inf>H<inf>6</inf> were found to be major gaseous species in pyrolysis emissions with the percentage contributions to total sum of gaseous species of 33.18%, 15.62%, 12.23% and 8.69% respectively. © 2013 WIT Press.
