On the basis of the findings obtained from laboratory, pot and field experiments the effect of exogenous salicylic acid on the growth, development and adaptation ability of corn and sorghum, grown under moderate soil water deficit, is examined in this paper. Experimental data suggest that salicylic acid certainly influences on plant growth, productivity, yield structure and resistance to dehydration. The distinctive effect of salicylic acid on enhancing plant resistance not only to pathogens (as is abundantly described in the specialized literature), but also to factors of climatic nature (as was revealed in the present study), demonstrates the universal character of adaptation mechanisms, in spite of their multitude.
