In investigating problems and land potential of Dong-payayang land reform, Sanburi, Chainat by using Rapid Rural Appraisal Technique, in this area the soil was unfertile, and that second crop rice exposed to periods of drought in the dry seasons of 1989-1991. Suitable field crops to replace second crop rice, therefore, were examined by Chainat FCRC. Cultural methods and production costs of 4 field crops, super sweet corn, soybean (SJ 4), peanut (SK 38) and mungbean (CN36), were tested. Each crop was planted for 800 square m. Fertilizer application, irrigation and other cultural methods were applied based on recommendation of the Department of Agriculture. Gross incomes for corn, peanut and mungbean were 5,912, 3,009 and 2,826 baht/rai, respectively. Yields of mungbean seed and pod fresh weight of peanut were 353 and 354 kg/rai, respectively. Super sweet corn produced 2808 kg/rai with 4939 ears of high grade. These high grade ears were sold at 130 baht/100 ears, whereas the rest was sold at 30 baht/100 ears. Fresh pods of peanut were sold out with the price of lower than the market price, resulting from clay soil causing poor pod quality. Podborer (Etiella zinckenella) was the main problem for the bean crop production, particularly during seed development. The crops had high potential to replace second crop rice. In addition, a lot of water will be saved if these crops are replaced rice.
