Drought tolerance of sage

Salvia L.

Drought tolerance of sage is not a fixed varietal trait and is assessed through the response of bioproductivity and embryo development under osmotic stress conditions.

In the reference 12 varieties crop Sage, where this is mentioned in the description.

To assess the drought tolerance of sage, in vitro laboratory methods are used, based on the study of isolated embryo development under the influence of osmotic stress induced by mannitol or sodium chloride. Under field conditions, tolerance is determined by comparing biometric indicators, such as plant height, number of leaves, and crop yield, under water deficit conditions versus optimal moisture levels.

Under conditions of moisture deficit and elevated temperatures, Salvia officinalis exhibits a decrease in bioproductivity, with losses in green mass and essential oil potentially ranging from 12 to 26%. In agronomic practice, drought tolerance is considered not as a standardized quantitative parameter, but as the plant's overall response to environmental stress factors, which requires taking into account the soil and climatic characteristics of the site during cultivation.
