Rice Production in Farmer Fields in Soil Salinity Classified Areas in Khon Kaen, Northeast Thailand

Abstract: Northeast Thailand is the largest rice cultivation region in Thailand, but the rice yield there is quite low. Soil salinity is one of the major yield restricted factors, is derived from underground rock salt, and is predicted to expand in the future. This study focused on evaluating rice productivity related to salinity conditions in Khon Kaen Province, Northeast Thailand. The field investigations were conducted from 2017 to 2019 in farmer fields in severe, moderate, and slight soil salinity classes determined… Show more

“…Growth reduction in the heavy-saline field was attributed to an inhibition of cell division and enlargement due to osmotic and ion toxicity effects, and inadequate photoassimilate supply [10], resulting in the lowest tiller number (Figure S1), and, consequently, the lowest total dry weight in all plant parts (Table S3) and the lowest yield and yield components (Table 5). Negative effects of soil EC on tiller number, biomass, and yield were reported in both greenhouse [18] and saline paddy fields [51,52]. Although Pokkali growing in the non-saline field had the lowest total biomass at maturity among genotypes, its total biomass in the heavy-saline field became the highest.…”

“…For all rice genotypes, the low soil EC during the milky stage to maturity (1.28-4.05 dS m −1 ; Figure 1D) also resulted in greater filled grain weight plant −1 in the semi-saline compared to that in the non-and heavy-saline fields (Table 5). Therefore, growth and grain yield of rice under saline field conditions varied widely depending not only on the soil properties but also the climatic conditions, especially the precipitation [51,57].…”

“…After drought, salinity is the second most common soil problem in rice-cultivating countries and has become a serious obstacle to improving global rice production [ 21 ]. More than 50% of arable lands may be lost to serious salinization by the year 2050, making it difficult to secure rice production and exacerbating food shortages [ 22 ]. Although rice salt tolerance has been improved by molecular biological techniques in recent years [ 23 , 24 ], surprisingly little is known about the mechanistic basis of the salt response.…”

“…The seawater intrusion on agricultural soil properties in Nonthaburi increased the electric conductivity (EC) and sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) to approximately 0.21-4.38 dS m −1 and 8.29-41.89, respectively, which are higher than the annual average value [7]. Moreover, in the northeast of Thailand, approximately 17% of its land area is affected by salt from rock salt and the accumulated effects from human activities [8]. The effect of high salinity is continuing to expand in some regions, thus potentially threatening rice production in Thailand.…”
