This comparative study of soil properties in areas with Inthan rice cultivation and areas without Inthan rice cultivation was conducted at Ban Siripattana, Khowang District, Yasothon Province. The objectives of this study were to examine soil properties and to compare soil properties between areas with Inthan rice cultivation and areas without Inthan rice cultivation. Soil samples were collected from the study areas at a depth of 0–15 centimeters and analyzed to compare the main soil nutrients (organic matter, phosphorus (P), and potassium (K)), soil acidity–alkalinity (pH), and soil moisture.
The results showed that there was no significant difference in the chemical properties of the soil between areas with and without Inthan rice cultivation, including the main soil nutrients (organic matter, P, and K) and soil pH. However, the study plots with Inthan rice cultivation had higher levels of phosphorus and potassium than the areas without Inthan rice cultivation. This may be due to natural soil properties or fertilizer management practices in the Inthan rice fields. In addition, soil moisture in the areas with Inthan rice cultivation was clearly lower than in the areas without Inthan rice cultivation.
