The effect of presowing treatment of wheat seeds (Triticum aestivum L.) with HUMI preparation on the wheat plant tolerance to 2% NaCl was investigated. Pretreatment of seedlings with HUMI preparation was found to reduce the damaging effect of salt stress on their growth indices. The significant reduction of stress-induced lipid peroxidation, electrolyte leakage and proline accumulation in HUMI-pretreated seedlings points towards the protective effect of HUMI on wheat seedlings under conditions of salt stress.
