| Summary: | In order to meet the demand for medicinal sage (Salvia officinalis L.),
which is an important economic product, harvesting from nature has economic
value. However, it may not always be of the desired standard and quality. Also,
the harvesting from nature endangers their natural population causing their genetic
base to decline. For this reason, it is important to produce it in an agrosystem and
to increase yield in a sustainable way. In this study, the effects of eleven endophyte
bacteria (EB) isolates applications on the development, morphology, and
physicochemical properties of Salvia officinalis L. were investigated by climate
chamber experiments. Peat+perlite+soil (1:1:2) mixture was used as the growing
medium and EB was applied two times by soaking method. Effects of EB
applications on shoot/root length, root/stem fresh and dry weight, Dualex values
(Nitrogen balance index (NBI), flavonol, anthocyanin, and chlorophyll), leaf area,
leaf temperature and color values (L*, a) *, b * C and Hue° were examined. All
EB applications increased the plant height and leaf area. Also, the majority of EB
isolates enhanced the root dry weight. The effect of EB applications on flavonol
and chlorophyll content was not found statistically significant. However, there
was a statistically significant increase in the nitrogen balance index (NBI). It was
also observed that EB applications caused changes in plant color. According to
the results obtained, it has been seen that it is possible to produce environmentally
friendly and sustainable medicinal sage with appropriate plant-bacteria
combinations. |
