The idea was to assay the salinity (0, 50 and 100 mM) impacts on Coriandrum sativum by the foliar application of
nano-Zn, FeSO4, MgSO4 and methanol in possibly the salinity stress side-effects. A factorial experiment was
arranged based on a completely randomized design with three replications in pot at Azarbaijan Shahid Madani
University. The results revealed that salinity × foliar treatment significantly affected plant dry weight, relative
water content, catalase activity, and elemental content of plants. The top recorded data (P≤5%) for, plant dry
weight and chlorophyll b content was with non-salinity × all foliar treatment. No-salinity and NaCl50mM ×
methanol foliar application increased K content in plant. 50 mM NaCl × FeSO4 and nano-Zn spray increased
catalase activity. Foliar spray with methanol, FeSO4 and nano-Zn × no salinity increased N content. The highest
relative water content belonged to no salinity × FeSO4 and nano-Zn and NaCl50 mM × FeSO4 treatment. The top
content of Fe, P, Ca and K/Na were recorded at non-saline conditions. 50 mM NaCl increased the essential oil
content of the plant. 100 mM salinity treatment increased malondialdehyde, H2O2, Na and proline contents.
Foliar treatment with FeSO4 and MgSO4 increased the essential oil content of the plant. As well Coriandrum
sativum was sensitive plants to salinity, and foliar treatments especially FeSO4 and nano-zinc ameliorated the
adverse side-effects of salinity in plants.
