Abstract
Rice (Oryza sativa) is a staple food crop for over half of the world’s population. However, drought as a result of climate change has led to increased soil salinity, thereby reducing agricultural potential, especially rice nutritional compositions and biochemical properties. Nevertheless, soil management by using suitable fertilizers might be able to improve rice quality even though these rice samples were grown in soil with a high degree of salinity. This study investigated nutritional compositions, phenolic contents, and antioxidant activities of twenty-five rainfed rice samples in Khao Dawk Mali 105 (KDML105) and Rice Department 15 (RD15) varieties grown in soil with different degrees of salinity. The soil, however, had been improved by the usage of fertilizer at the tillering and booting stages. Results indicated that all rice samples exhibited similar nutrients, total phenolic contents (TPCs), and antioxidant potentials, suggesting that appropriate fertilizer could improve rice qualities. Principle Component Analysis (PCA) and Pearson correlation results suggested that regardless of rice varieties, organic matter (OM) and soil potassium (Ks) showed a very strong positive correlation with protein and minerals (Ca, Na, K, and Fe), while opposite results were observed with soil pH. Moderate to very weak correlations were also observed between soil parameters and TPCs, as well as between soil parameters and antioxidant activities. The received information will be useful for the future development of appropriate fertilizer usage in salt-tolerant rice with particular nutritional quality.
