Abstract

The present research aimed to evaluate the utilization of some medicinal aromatic plants' distillation wastes (sage, thyme, mint, and basil) to provide an option for seedling growth media to ameliorate the seedling quality as well as to the restricted sources of peat.  Tomato (Solanum lycopersicon) and cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) were used as vegetative production materials. In the present study, including control media five different growing media consisting of distillation waste of thyme, sage, mint, and basil at 3:1 (peat: distillation wastes) rates were prepared. Consequently, it can be said some medicinal aromatic plant distillation wastes have the potential to be used as a support to seedling growing media.
