The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of different growth media and IBA doses on the growth parameters of Salvia officinalis L. plant. The study was conducted according to a factorial experimental design in randomized plots within the climate cabin, which has fully controlled conditions, located in the Department of Horticulture at Van Yüzüncü Yıl University. A total of 360 cuttings were used, with 10 cuttings representing each application. In the study, which was conducted with three replications, plants were grown in 200 mL pots. The cuttings used in the rooting study were obtained from medicinal sage (S. officinalis) plants in the Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Garden of Van Yüzüncü Yıl University, Faculty of Agriculture, in June 2023. The cuttings were brought to the laboratory, planted in 3 different media: perlite (100%); perlite + peat (1: 1); peat (100%), and applying four different concentrations of hormones: 0 ppm; 250 ppm; 500 ppm; 1000 ppm IBA (indole-3-butyric acid). The trial ended 50 days following planting, and the necessary measurements were made. In this study, the highest growth performance were obtained in the perlite + peat growth medium, except for root length. Considering the hormone × growth media interactions, the highest fresh plant weight, dry plant weight, fresh root weight, and dry root weight were obtained as 3.549 g, 0.976 g, 4.351 g, and 0.644 g, respectively, in perlite + peat growth medium applied with 1000 mg kg‒1 IBA. The highest plant length (17.617 cm) and rooting rate (80%) were also obtained with 1000 mg kg‒1 IBA application in peat (100%) and perlite (100%) growth media, respectively.
