| Summary: | This study aimed to evaluate the impact of varying doses of Zeatin, Kinetin, and Gibberellic Acid biostimulants on the growth and biochemical parameters of Mentha piperita L. Conducted in a greenhouse with three replications using a "Completely Randomized Experimental Design" design, the experiment assessed seedling and root lengths, fresh and dry weights of seedlings and roots, total phenolic content, and antioxidant activity (CUPRAC and FRAP). The results revealed that biostimulant applications significantly increased all growth and biochemical parameters compared to the control. Gibberellic acid at 200 mg/l produced the longest seedlings, while Kinetin at 50 mg/l resulted in the longest roots. The highest antioxidant activity (FRAP) and total phenolic content were observed with the 40 mg/l dose of Zeatin. |
