*5.5. Statistical Analysis*

In this experiment, Statistical Analysis System (SAS) software version 9.4 was used for statistical analysis. We used analysis of variance (ANOVA) for pre-comparison, and then used Duncan's Multiple Range Test for multiple comparisons. The different alphabets indicate significant differences in the performance of the five rice varieties (*p* < 0.05). All of the tests were conducted in more than three independent tests.
