Abstract

Integrated agriculture - aquaculture systems have been in existence in Thailand for centuries. In fact, rice-fish farming started in the country more than 200 years ago. Perhaps Thailand has the most varied integrated farming operations in southeast Asia. Pig, cattle, buffalo, chicken, duck, vegetable, aquatic plant, rice and orchard in combination with fish are practiced. Chinese kale, yard long bean, cucumber, hot pepper, eggplant, tomato, banana, mango, coconut and papaya are the vegetables and orchard plants cultivated. Leaves of these plants and that of rice are composted, serving as pond fertilizer. On the other hand, aquatic plants grown on septage and pond effluent are used as fish feed ingredients (like the water hyacinth Ceratophylum demersum) or as direct feed to fish (Azolla and duckweed).
