Aim. The aim of the research was to study the influence of salt stress on the growth and development of chickpea, whose seeds were irradiated at different doses before sowing. The physiological state of the investigated plant is evaluated on the basis of the functioning of the antioxidant enzymes of the protection system. Methods. The methods developed by Kumar, Knovles and Nakano, Assad was used to determine the activity of antioxidant enzymes. Results. It is shown that under the conditions of salt stress, antioxidant enzymes function, to some extent, interconnected and coordinated. Conclusions. It is assumed that the survival of chickpea seedlings in salt conditions is ensured by the coordinated work of the antioxidant defense system.Keywords: Cicer arietinum L., presowing seed irradiation, salt stress, antioxidant enzymes.
