The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of gibberellic acid (GA3) on the growth, morphology, and antioxidants activity of marigold (Tagetes erecta) subjected to salt stress. A pot experiment was carried out in completely randomized design with 16 treatments of NaCl and GA3, either alone or in combination. After 15 days of plant transplantation, NaCl (0, 50, 100 and 150 mM) stress was given to the plantlets of Tagetes erecta and at the same time foliar application of gibberellic acid (0, 150, 250 and 350 ppm) was applied. The findings of study revealed that NaCl reduced the growth of all parameters which were studied as compared to GA3 treated plants and control. The exogenously applied gibberellic acid improved the growth of NaCl treated plants by alleviating the level of antioxidant enzymes such as peroxidase, superoxide dismutase and catalase. Overall, the results indicate that exogenously applied GA3 can partially mitigate the NaCl induced stress in Tagetes erecta, highlighting its role in improving the growth of plants under saline conditions.
Considering the destructive effects of alkalinity stress on plants and the important role of silicon in stress alleviation, this study investigated the effects of foliar-applied silicon dioxide nanoparticles (SiO₂-NPs) at 0, 2, and 4 mM, under alkalinity stress induced by NaHCO₃ at 0, 5, 15, and 30 mM, on hydroponicall...

Environmental contamination by pesticides and salts is a growing agricultural issue, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. Difenoconazole (DIF), a commonly used fungicide, and sodium chloride (NaCl), a widespread salinity stressor, often coexist in soil and water, yet their combined effects on non-target crops such...
