Popis: The soil salinity is a dominant abiotic problem in arid and semi-arid region of the world. It occurs naturally due to low rainfall and accumulation of salts to soil surface, aided by human activities; excessive irrigations, over-use of fertilizers and poor drainage. The study was aimed to investigate the mitigating role of Moringa olifera leaf extract (MLE) in pea grown under salinity stress. Pea (Pisum sativum) variety-Pea-2009 was grown under control and salt (100 mM NaCl) stress. The MLE extract (3%) was applied as a seed priming and foliar spray. Salinity stress caused a significant (P
