Effect of Bio-nitrogen Fertilization, Plant Density and Irrigation on Physiological and Agronomic Characteristics of Salvia officinalis Organic Cultivation

Sage (Salvia officinalis L) is a widespread aromatic and medicinal plant with various positive affects in human diet health. In order to investigate the interaction among bio-fertilization, density irrigation regimes, Salvia cultivation, an experimental field was established at University Farm of Thessaly, Velestino (Greece). The transplant carried out October 2016 experiment data concern height, Leaf Area Index (LAI), Chlorophyll content dry biomass 3rd 4th growing years. A split-split-plot design used, including two regimes (IR0: no IR1: irrigation), three bio - nitrogen fertilization systems (N0: 0 kg ha-1, N1: 40 N2: 80 ha-1) different (D1: 10.000 D2: 20.000 plants ha-1). use drip system ameliorated leaves yield LAI. year ranged between 166.3 – 522 ha-1 101.67 359 May August, respectively. As it concerns index (CCI), had provoked increase its amount during studied year. Therefore, can be promising perennial crop, cultivated under Greek climatic conditions.
