Abstract
To investigate the effects of salicylic acid on wheat by foliar spraying at various doses. An experiment in pots with three replications was carried out in India during the rabi season of 2021-2022. Plant was treated with foliar spray at the tillering, extension, and heading stages, with concentrations of 0.5mM, 1mM, and 2mM. The results reveal that foliar sprays of 1mM and 2mM salicylic acid aim to maintain shoot length under drought stress conditions. As the concentration of salicylic acid on wheat increases, the number of leaves increases in drought stress. Overall, salicylic acid treatment has a favourable effect on wheat plants under drought stress conditions.
