Salt stress is considered one of the most damaging abiotic stresses for maize productivity. In this study, two-hybrid varieties (Sancia and Agrister) were cultivated under 0, 2, 4, and 6 g NaCl L −1 . Under 6 g NaCl L −1 , shoot length, dry weight, and chlorophyll content were higher for Agrister compared to Sancia. Moreover, an increase in proline and H 2 O 2 was recorded for Sancia at 2 and 4 g·L −1 and for Agrister at 6 g·L −1 . Laterally, Agrister enhances the antioxidant enzymes catalase and peroxidase, while Sancia decreased peroxidase by 25% compared to the control. In conclusion, Agrister seems to be more tolerant than Sancia.
