This study aimed to investigate the effects of ascorbic acid (AsA) and salicylic acid (SA) on the germination and early seedling growth of fodder pea (Pisum sativum ssp. arvense L.) under various salt (NaCl) concentrations. Four concentrations of both SA and AsA (0, 50, 100, and 150 mM) were applied under four different NaCl concentrations (0, 50, 100, and 150 mM). Key parameters such as germination time (days), root length (cm), hypocotyl length (cm), and germination rate (%) were evaluated. The results indicated that increased salt concentrations negatively impacted germination. However, applications of 50 mM and 100 mM AsA and SA demonstrated positive effects on the measured parameters. It was concluded that optimal applications of AsA and SA can positively influence fodder pea germination under saline conditions.
