Résumé
Rice grain quality indicators are important in varietal development and subsequent adoption by farmers and
consumers. Two experiments were carried out during dry season 2013 in an open field and wet season 2014 in
a screen house to assess the effect of four levels of soil moisture content on rice grain quality indicators (Head
Rice Ratio, Amylose content, Protein content and Gel consistency) at reproductive stage. Five improved rice
varieties (NERICA1, NERICA 4, NERICA 7, ARICA 4 and ARICA 5) were used. Significant changes (P
