Zusammenfassung:ABSTRACT Brazil is one of the largest cashew producers in the world, and its Northeast region stands out. However, cashew growth and development are negatively affected by irrigation with brackish water in its production. In this context, strategies have been employed to alleviate salt stress effects on plants. Among the strategies, the exogenous application of elicitor substances, such as salicylic acid, has stood out. Given the above, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of foliar application of salicylic acid as an attenuator of salt stress on the morphophysiology of early dwarf cashew. The study was carried out in a greenhouse, in a randomized block design, in a 5 × 4 factorial arrangement, with five levels of electrical conductivity of the irrigation water - ECw (0.4, 1.2, 2.0, 2.8, and 3.6 dS m-1) and four concentrations of salicylic acid - SA (0, 1, 2, and 3 mM), with three replicates and one plant per plot. Irrigation with water of electrical conductivity above 0.4 dS m-1 negatively affected the leaf relative water content, gas exchange, photosynthetic pigments, and growth of plants. Salicylic acid at a concentration of 1 mM attenuated the effects of salt stress on electrolyte leakage, relative water content, gas exchange, synthesis of photosynthetic pigments, and growth of early dwarf cashew irrigated using water with ECw of up to 3.6 dS m-1, at 210 days after transplanting. RESUMO O Brasil é um dos maiores produtores de caju do mundo, com destaque para região Nordeste. Entretanto, o crescimento e desenvolvimento são reduzidos pela irrigação com águas salobras. Neste sentido, estratégias têm sido empregadas com intuito de amenizar o estresse salino sobre as plantas. Dentre as estratégias, a aplicação exógena de substância elicitoras, como o ácido salicílico têm se destacado. Diante do exposto, objetivou-se com o presente estudo, avaliar o efeito da aplicação foliar de ácido salicílico como atenuante do estresse salino sobre a morfofisiologia do cajueiro anão precoce. O estudo foi conduzido em casa de vegetação, no delineamento de blocos casualizados, em arranjo fatorial 5 × 4, com cinco níveis de condutividade elétrica da água de irrigação - CEa (0,4; 1,2; 2,0; 2,8 e 3,6 dS m-1) e quatro concentrações de ácido salicílico - AS (0, 1, 2 e 3 mM), com três repetições e uma planta por parcela. A irrigação com água de condutividade elétrica acima de 0.4 dS m-1 afetou negativamente o conteúdo relativo de água nas folhas, as troca
