shaggy1969 Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 Cassava and sugar cane growing at the base of the mountain. On the right hand side of the mountain there is a temple with a beautiful white Buddha statue facing towards Kranuan. Parking the bike at the bottom of the mountain we walked/crawled up the steep road to the temple ground to have a look at the temple self. amongst the many beautiful buildings and statues was this huge beast........now i wasn't expecting to see that !!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ron19 Posted August 23, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 23, 2013 Has anyone noticed problems with dragon fruit this year ? In our village a very large percentage are flowering and then not setting fruit.Recently the whole village was sprayed/fogged under a campaign against mosquito's and the problem seems to coincide with that. This is one setup that has been affected,Out of all these flowers that you see here,there are only 4-5 fruit set. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apache9441 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Perhaps the bees were killed with the spraying, have you noticed a lack of bees? Haven't noticed any recently. I think I read somewhere Dragon fruit flowers relied on night time insects for pollination , Moths etc. not that it changes anything. I read recently that the flowers will drop if they are not cross pollinated by another nearby Dragon fruit plant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodrules Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Nice photos as always gents! Here's my stupid question of the day...looking at the pictures, one thing has struck me, in that a lot of the soils don't appear to be lateritic as I would have expected for a tropical wet and dry or savanna climate. Google says that NE Thailand has these soil types, but I've seen photos up Issan way and again, not as marked as I would have expected. Anyone know of any links that would explain if I'm being an idiot or as to a underlying reason? Cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be all the organics in the field soil then, as the road is the colour that I would be expecting to see, given the climate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The iron/sulfide must have been filtered up by the crops... In theory... Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
