This investigation was carried out in the experimental farm and the grain quality laboratory of the Rice Research and Training Center, Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate, Egypt to determine the grain quality characteristics as well as the nutritional value after milling of three Egyptian rice genotypes (Oryza sativa) under foliar treatment with different stimulating compounds. A tow-year field experiment was laid out in split-plot design with four replications in the 2017 and 2018 rice growing seasons. Rice genotypes were allocated in the main plot and stimulating compounds in the subplot. After harvesting, 150-gram from each plot was taken to study the following characteristics: hulling, milling, head rice, gelatinous temperature, kernel elongation, amylose content, protein content, carbohydrate content, lipids content, ash, phosphorus, potassium and energy composition. There were significant differences for most of the studied characteristics caused by genotype, stimulating compound and the interaction between the two factors. The results revealed that the grain quality characteristics and the nutritional value of Egyptian rice genotypes can be enhanced by the application of some stimulating compounds such as amino acids and NPK compound fertilizer.
