H.R.H. Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Transplants Rice at the Chulachomklao Royal Military Academy, Nakhon Nayok Province

On 17 July 2018, Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn made a royal visit to Nakhon Nayok Province to transplant rice seedlings in the paddy demonstration plot, harvest agricultural produce along the farm dike and observe agricultural demonstration activities prepared by the students at the Chulachomklao Royal Military Academy.

In the year 2018, Her Royal Highness transplanted rice seedlings RD43 with a 8-rows rice transplanting machine of the Siam Kubota Corporation Co., Ltd. The production of rice is 561 kilograms per rai (0.4 acre) with short harvesting period. This rice species is good for consumption because it is soft with nice odor when it is cooked.  Pathumthani Rice Research Center has carried out 2 activities this year which are transplanting rice seedlings RD43 and cultivating other crops after rice harvest to improve the soil condition. The agricultural produce was distributed to schools and foster homes in the vicinity area. 

Nakorn Nayok Agricultural Extension Office received Rice RD43 from the Chulachomklao Royal Military Academy. It will be distributed to Baan Bung Kae Community Center, Moo 7, Hin Tang Sub-district, Mueang District, Nakorn Nayok Province for  further distribution to the members.
