ABSTRACT
The study was conducted to determine the effects of four different seedling production methods (i.e., open seedbed, greenhouse seedbed, float system and modified float system) on the seedling growth and quality of common sage. Sowing rates were 1 g per m2 in an open seedbed and a greenhouse seedbed system, whereas the sowing rate was one seed per cell in the float and modified float systems. Emergence period, seedling growth period, the fresh and dry weights of aerial parts of seedlings, the fresh and dry weights of roots, seedling height, root height and stem diameter were determined as agronomical observations and measurements. The greenhouse seedling method was found to be superior over the other methods.
Key Words: common sage, seedling production, greenhouse seedling method.
