Shade can affect the levels of chlorophyll and anthocyanin in upland red rice. The study found that different levels of shade, types of rice, and their interaction all had a significant impact on the chlorophyll and anthocyanin content. Overall, shade increased chlorophyll levels in all rice types tested. The highest levels of chlorophyll a were seen in moderate shade, while chlorophyll b increased linearly with increasing shade. Anthocyanin content also increased with shade, with the Jangkobembe rice type showing the highest increase. In conclusion, shade has a notable effect on the chlorophyll and anthocyanin content of upland red rice.
