Salicylic acid’s effect and mycorrhiza on Vetiveria zizanioides L. growing in salty soil

Abstract

Salinity is a crucial problem that causes land degradation and reduces the production of various plants in different parts of the world. The purpose of this research is to assess the influence of salicylic acid and mycorrhiza on vetiver development in salty soils by delivering the appropriate salicylic acid and mycorrhizal concentrations in order to get maximum growth. The methodology used a randomized block design with three replications and three components, namely the level of salinity (A), salicylic acid concentration (B) and mycorrhizal dose (C). The findings revealed a relationship between salicylic acid content and mycorrhizal dosage in saline soil and plant height, total number of leaves, and number of tillers. Plant height, number of leaves, and number of tillers all responded significantly to salinity level. Salicylic acid’s response to growth was discovered to have a considerable effect on the quantity of leaves and tillers. Mycorrhizal dose has an impact on plant height, number of leaves, and number of tillers. Therefore, finding results for sustainable agriculture while reducing land and environmental degradation.
