Abstract :
Salt stress is a major abiotic factor that restricts plant growth and yield globally. The application of plant growth regulators such as Indole-3-Acetic Acid (IAA) has emerged as a potential strategy to combat these challenges. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of foliar-applied IAA in ameliorating the detrimental effects of salinity on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) growth and yield parameters. A pot experiment was conducted under a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) to evaluate various concentrations of IAA under three salinity levels. The findings highlighted the potential of IAA in improving wheat growth and yield under salt stress conditions
