Sažetak
The aim of this study was to determine favorable conditions for germination of variously aged sage seed. A series of assays were carried out in growth chambers wherein germination was observed for 14 days. When the 5-year old seed was tested at tempoeratures of 20, 25 or 30 degrees under continuous light or in dark, the highest germination rate was observed at 25 degrees C with continuous light. Seeds of 0 to 15 years old were tested at 25 degrees C under constant illumination, whereas the highest germination rate and viability were observed for 3 and 8 years old seed. The effect of leaching with running water and sowing depth on seedling emergence of 5-year-old seed was tested under Israeli summer conditions in a net-house. It was not influenced by leaching, but significantly decreased as the depth of sowing increased.
