Soil salinity is considered a serious problem that limits agricultural productivity. Currently, solutions are being sought to mitigate the negative impact of salt on economically important crops. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of foliar application of silicon (Si) on the physiological and epigenetic responses of wheat grown under salt stress conditions.

Meatballs with 24% addition of wheat roll and three variants of meatballs: M, M, M, with 24% addition seeds were tested. In the meatballs from group M, the percentage of linseeds was 6%, amaranth 10%, and hemp 8%, respectively; in group M it was 8%, 8%, and 8%; and in group M it was 10%, 6%, and 8%.

It is possible to limit the negative effects of salt through the exogenous application of microelements. Silicon (Si) is widely recognized as an element improving plant resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses.
