The present study was carried out at the Experimental Farm, Horticulture Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Suez Canal University in two successive seasons (2012 & 2013). The aim of this work was to study the effect of aloe leaf extract (ALE) at 0.0, 10, 20 and 40 ml/L on vegetative growth, yield, essential oil percentage and leaf anatomical structure of sage plants ( Salvia officinalis L.) under sandy soil condition. Aloe leaf extract (ALE) especially at highest concentration (40 ml/L) significantly increased the plant height, number of leaves, number of branches, yield and essential oil percentage as well as enhancement the leaf anatomical structure. The obtained results led to recommended producing higher yield and essential oil percentage grown in sandy soil using Aloe leaf extract.
The present study was carried out at the Experimental Farm, Horticulture Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Suez Canal University during two successive seasons (2012 & 2013). The objective was to study the effect of moringa leaf extract (MLE) spray at 0.0, 2.5, 5 and 10 gm /L on vegetative growth, yield, leaf area, oil percentage and the anatomical leaf structure of sage plant under sandy soil conditions. Spraying with MLE especially at highest concentration (10gm/L) significantly increased the plant height, number of leaves, number of branches, yield and essential oil percentage in herb. In addition such treatment markedly increased the percentage of most essential oil component and enhancement the characteristic of leaf anatomy of sage plants.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
