Abstract: To study the impact of salicylic acid on yield and yield components of maize under reduced irrigation, an experiment was conducted at Agronomy Research Farm of The University of Agriculture, Peshawar Khyber Pakhtunkhwa during summer 2015. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with split plot arrangement having three replications. Experiment comprised of six Irrigation levels (I0= Zero irrigation, I1= One irrigation, I2= Two irrigations, I3= Three irrigations, I4= Four irrigations, and I5= Five irrigations in complete life cycle) assigned to main plots and five salicylic acid levels (SA0= 0, SA1= 150, SA2= 300, SA3= 450, and SA4= 600 mgL-1) assigned to sub plots. Results indicated that applying four irrigations resulted in more grains ear-1 with maximum thousand grains weight and shelling percentage of maize.
