This study examines the issue of increasing the stress resistance of high-productivity aquatic plants, Azolla (Azolla spp.)  and Duckweed (Lemna minor), under conditions of water resource salinization. The research was conducted using natural water samples with varying degrees of salinity from the "BUXOROBALIQ" water basin. To mitigate the negative effects of the stress factor, the plants were treated with salicylic acid (SA) at concentrations of 10-4M, 10-5M, and 10-6M. The total soluble protein content in the plants was analyzed as the primary biochemical indicator. The results showed that the effect of salicylic acid varied depending on the plant species and concentration.
