Biostimulants such as seaweed extracts are emerging crop management products that can enhance productivity and nutritional quality under abiotic stress conditions. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a seaweed-derived biostimulant (Kelpak®) in alleviating salinity spinach. A greenhouse experiment which consisted five treatments (T1 = Control plants (no NaCl or extract (SWE), T2 subjected 300 mM without SWE, T3 + 1% dilution T4 2.5% T5 5% SWE) was conducted. The results showed addition SWE reduced growth, relative water content, chlorophyll, quality. Similarly, induced severe oxidative stress, indicated by excessive amounts superoxide radicals, malondialdehyde upregulation catalase, peroxidase, polyphenols, flavonoids. Interestingly, treated with displayed substantial enhancement performance, reduction improved quality, characterised considerable minerals, proximate constituents, vitamins. These support use enhancing growth spinach saline cultivation.
