Abstract in brief

The study investigated mitragynine levels in kratom leaves from different regions in Thailand and found that its content varies from 75 to 266 mg per gram of dry leaf weight, influenced by environmental factors.
Key environmental variables impacting mitragynine content include light intensity, relative humidity, soil water content, soil pH, and calcium levels, as shown by canonical correspondence analysis.
This research serves as a first step toward optimizing growth conditions to enhance the quality and quantity of bioactive alkaloids in kratom, suggesting that future studies focus on leaf harvesting and postharvest processes to maintain desired alkaloid levels.]
