Considering the detrimental effects of salt stress on the physiological ‎mechanisms of plants in terms of growth, development and productivity, ‎intensive efforts are underway to improve plant tolerance to salinity. ‎Hence, an experiment was conducted to assess the impact of the foliar ‎application of salicylic acid (SA; 0.5 mM) on the physiological traits of ‎fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graecum L.) plants grown under three salt ‎concentrations (0, 75, and 150 mM NaCl). An increase in salt ‎concentration generated a decrease in the chlorophyll content index ‎‎(CCI); however, the foliar application of SA boosted the CCI. The ‎malondialdehyde content increased in salt-stressed fenugreek plants, ‎while a reduction in content was observed with SA. Likewise, SA ‎application induced an accumulation of proline, total phenolics, and ‎flavonoids. Moreover, further increases in total free amino acids and ‎shikimic acid were observed with the foliar application of SA, in either ‎control or salt-treated plants. Similar results were obtained for ascorbate ‎peroxidase, peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase, and catalase with SA ‎application. Hence, we concluded that the foliar application of SA ‎ameliorates salinity, and it is a growth regulator that improves the ‎tolerance of fenugreek plants under salt stress. ‎
