Abstract
Sage is a plant belonging to the Labiatae family. It is native to Middle East and Mediterranean areas, but today has been naturalized throughout the world. In folk medicine, S. officinalis has been used for the treatment of different kinds of disorders including seizure, ulcers, gout, rheumatism, inflammation, dizziness, tremor, paralysis, diarrhea, and hyperglycemia. This study was conducted to evaluate the impact of the foliar application of putrescine on the macro elements of sage leaves. The treatments used included four levels of putrescine, Put (Control: 0, Put1: 500, Put2: 1000, and Put3: 1500 ppm) with five replications.
According to the results of this research, putrescine had significant effects on the amount of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium and sulphate. The results showed that the amount of potassium and calcium in sage increased significantly when putrescine was used at 1500 mg/liter. The highest magnesium and sulphate content was observed in 1000 mg/liter. The findings of the present study can be used to manage the production of medicinal plants and the quality of their products. In addition, in sustainable agriculture, using polyamine substances can reduce the application rate of chemical fertilizers, thereby maintaining the environment. Also, the polyamine putrescine (Put) plays an essential role in controlling the innate immune response.
