Summary: | Salicylic acid (SA) is mainly associated with the regulation of plant growth particularly
in salinity stress conditions and this signaling molecule exists in pivotal parts of plant.
The objective of this research analysis was to overcome stress condition by distinct foliar
treatments of Salicylic acid, for instance, 0 and 100 mM. Foliar applications of SA on
maize were rendered on 10 days later than transplanting under a hydroponics experiment.
Plants were grown under non-saline (S0= 0 mM NaCl) and saline (S1= 100 mM NaCl)
conditions. Evaluation of biochemical, physiological and morphological attributes of maize
was rendered after harvesting of plants. The experimental layout of Completely Randomized
Design (CRD) under a factorial arrangement with three replications of each treatment was
assigned for this study. According to our results it was confirmed that cultivation of maize
under saline condition reduced the morphological, physiological and biochemical attributes
of plant. However, exogenous application of SA on maize had a positive impact on the above
mentioned traits under presence and absence of saline environment. Finally, it was justified
that exogenous application of variable concentration of SA significantly improves whole
parameters of maize cultivar.
