Planting materials accompained with the technical know-how are always available for the farmers. In addition, TISTR in keeping close contact with the markets, is able to serve as a meeting place for the farmers and the buyers. Cooperation from extension service agencies in needed for carrying on this new occupation Authors.สาระสังเขป: Chrysanthemum tea bags were produced and packed in attractive packages specially designed for market tests to ascertain public acceptance on the products. Wholesale and retail prices were determined for different varieties of products displayed and sold in the Royal Agricultural Fair in March, 1981. The products has gained much interest from visitors to this Fair.สาระสังเขป: Extension work on chrysanthemum production was undertaken in 7 hill-tribe villages with a total area of 46 rai among which two curing factories including air-drying sheds and all facilities needed for chrysanthemum tea processing were established. The aim in establishing these curing factories is not only for curing purposes but also for further serving as prototyped plants in other villages. Training on cultivation methods and curing techniques were given to the participants. The first prototyped factory was built at Mae Sa Mai and the second at Bo Kaeo. As a result, the curing complex was duplicated at Thung Luang by the Highland Agriculture Project, Institute of Agricultural Technology, Mae Cho.สาระสังเขป: In this report are included the results of research and extension work on chrysanthemum, carried out both inside and outside the Essential Oil Research Station, Chang Khian, Chiang Mai. This covers multiplication of planting materials for distributing to hill-tribes; selection of variety adaptable to the highland conditions to give high and superior yield which is disease resistible; investigation on fast propagating techniques; study on fertilizer application; and economic assessment of commercial production of chrysanthemum tea.สาระสังเขป: Not only was chrysanthemum tea sold at retail prices in the Fair but also in Chiang Mai and Bangkok markets at a wholesale price of 160 baht/kg. The average yield of dried chrysanthemum was 200 kg/rai, the gross value of which was estimated at 32,000 baht. The cost of production was calculated at 9,760 baht earning a net profit of 22,240 baht/rai. This is considered to be feasible as a home industry to substitute wholly or partially the import which amounts to about 40 t/year. Most of the 1980-1981 products were produced by the hill-tribes of Bo Kaeo and Hat Sompoi villages, Tambon Mae Sap, Amphoe Smoeng, Chiang Mai, under the cooperation of Royal Water Shed Development Unit 8.
