The Effects Various Humidity and Hormone Dose Applications on Sage Tea (Salvia officinalis L.) Propagated from Green Cuttings

In this study, green top cuttings were taken in early June from sage tea (Salvia officinalis L.) plant grown in Konya Province. Two different (85-90 %, 95-100 %) air-relative humidity misting systems, different IBA (Indole-3-Butyric Acid) hormone doses (Control, 250, 500, 750 and 1000 ppm) and pearlite were given and the effect on rooting environment, rooting ability and root formation were studied on these cuttings. When investigated in terms of rooting rate of sage tea in the study, it was determined that 100 % of the total dose of hormone doses in both humidity levels were rooted. In the control groups a rooting rate of 52 % is determined in the environment with 80-90 % humidity, a 42.86 % rooting rate is determined in the control group in the environment with 90-100 % humidity.
