•Combined stress reduced activities of SOD, POX, APX and GR in perennial ryegrass, but solely GR in Bermuda grass.•Combined stress deleterious effects were more pronounced in Bermuda grass in terms of TBARS and H2O2 accumulation.•Simultaneous application of SA+Ca can play positive regulatory role un...
