ABSTRACT
Introduction: The species Salvia officinalis is widely used in medicine, cooking and industry due to its economic importance. For this reason, the management of this species for large-scale field production has been studied.Objective: To design a viable alternative for the large-scale production of sage seedlings with different commercial substrates and concentrations of liquid and solid humus.
Methods: A completely random design was used and performed in a greenhouse with controlled irrigation using the Ecocitrus and Mecplant substrate in the different study groups. The characteristics evaluated in the substrates were electrical conductivity, density and pH. In plants, they were the percentage of germination, the length of the shoot, the length of the main root, the number of roots, the mass of fresh matter and the mass of dry matter.
Results: The characteristics of the substrates used are viable for the production of seedlings. The parameters evaluated: stem and root length, number of roots, dry bud mass and fresh root mass were more significant with the use of Mecplant with solid humus in concentrations of 10 and 20%, unlike the Ecocitrus substrate. The treatments that had the greatest significance were those that had liquid humus in both concentrations.
Conclusions: The addition of solid or liquid humus improved the conditions of growth and development of sage in both substrates. However, the 20% solid humus improved the density and pH characteristics, and as a consequence of the development of the seedlings.
