FIELD: agriculture. SUBSTANCE: method involves presowing wetting seeds followed by their germination and leaf feeding treatment of seedling plants. Seeds are wetted for 1 h in amino acid proline warm (30-35 C) 10% solution in thermostat at temperature 30 C. Then seeds are washed out in cold running tape water and dried on filter paper. Then seeds are germinated and leaf feeding treatment of seedling plants is carried out. Treatment is carried out with solution prepared as measured for 15 g of proline, 10 g of sucrose pr 100 ml of water. Treatment is repeated in 10-12 days. Method is universal one and enhances the effectiveness of plants protection under condition of saline stress. Invention can be used for enhancement of resistance of cultural plants against salinization condition. EFFECT: improved method for plants salt tolerance. 1 tbl
