Foliar application with fish amino acids is a method that can maximize uptake and minimize runoff or leaching, providing just enough N to the plant for optimum uptake and the production of chlorophyll to increase plant growth and maintain plant health. The purpose of this research was to study the effect of seed priming method and foliar spraying rate of marine fish amino acids on the growth of Sang Yod rice seedlings. Split plot experiments were planned. The main factor was foliar spraying with Fish Amino Acid (FAA) at four concentrations: 0%, 0.10%, 0.15%, and 0.20%. Secondary factors were seed soaked in 5 treatments, i.e., no priming (control), hydropriming, 0.10% FAA, 0.15% FAA, and 0.20% FAA. Seedling growth, leaf area, and chlorophyll content were recorded. It was found that soaking seeds with FAA before germination in sand at different rates resulted in statistically significant differences in the percentage germination of rice seedlings. Soaking seeds in water and 0.10% FAA resulted in maximum germination of 99% and 98%, respectively, and mean germination time at 3 days. Seed soaking at 0.10% concentration combined with FAA foliar spray at rate 0.15% promotes the growth of seedlings both shoots and roots, increased leaf area and chlorophyll content. As a result, the photosynthetic efficiency of the rice plant was increased.
