Objective. To compare the effects of traditional plant growth stimulators and a synthesized pyridine derivative of acetic acid on seed germination characteristics and the growth intensity of Salvia splendens Sello ex Nees seedlings.
Materials and Methods. The object of the laboratory experiment was seeds and seedlings of scarlet sage (Salvia splendens ‘Pharaoh’) (family Lamiaceae Lindl.). The experimental matrix included conventional growth stimulants (succinic acid and ethephon) as well as the compound 2-(pyridin-4-ylthio)acetic acid, resynthesized at the Department of Agrarian Technologies of the Khortytsia National Academy, at concentrations of 1.0, 5.0, and 10.0 μmol L⁻¹. Succinic acid, a metabolic stimulant, at a concentration of 10⁻³ M, and ethephon, a hormone-action stimulant, at a concentration of 10⁻⁴ M, were used as reference preparations. Distilled water served as the control. Seed germination, germination dynamics and energy, and morphometric parameters of seedlings (root and hypocotyl length, area of cotyledon leaves) were analyzed. The results were processed using statistical methods.
Results and Discussion. It was found that the seed germination rate of S. splendens under the influence of both traditional growth stimulators (succinic acid, ethephon) and the synthesized compound (1.0 and 5.0 µmol/L) exceeded the control values. In the variant with the highest concentration (10.0 µmol/L) of the synthesized compound, significant inhibition of seed germination was observed (by 57.1%). Among the traditional growth stimulators, succinic acid had the most beneficial effect on seedling growth, while the synthesized compound showed particularly positive effects at the lower concentration (1.0 µmol/L). However, the highest applied concentration had a suppressive effect on the vegetative organ growth of S. splendens seedlings.
Conclusions. Considering the overall effect on seed germination and the initial stages of ontogenesis in S. splendens ‘Farao,’ succinic acid demonstrated the most pronounced positive influence among the traditional growth stimulators. The synthesized compound, 2-(pyridin-4-ilthio)acetic acid, showed a beneficial effect at 1.0 and 5.0 µmol/L, particularly at the lower concentration.
