Abstract: Maize is the important cereal crop which is the basic need of food and oil for human intake. It is also used as feed for livestock throughout the world but this crop is normally submissive to salt stress. Salinity is the most important abiotic stress that inhibits growth and productivity of crop. The salinity is worldwide problem that limits the growth and productivity of all vegetation’s and it is going to increasing day by day. The salt stresses affect badly to the plant morphology, functioning, and homeostasis and decrease the plant biomass. But the exogenous applications of different plant growth regulators such as IAA enhance the plant growth, development, maintaining plant cell ion constancy and raise the plant biomass. The objective of the investigation was to study the response of Maize (Zea mays L.) in term of morphological, physiological, chemical and biochemical characteristics under salt stress conditions.
