Abstract
The article presents the data on seed germination of Salvia officinalis L. in laboratory and field conditions. The mass of 1000 seeds of the plant is 7-8g. It has been revealed that the optimal sowing time for S. officinalis L. is the spring period. At the same time, laboratory and soil germination of freshly harvested seeds of S. officinalis L. constitutes 70-85%. Plant seeds sprout 15-20 days after sowing. Plant safety in the conditions of Tashkent oasis in the aisles is 70-80%. In the first year of life, plants do not enter the generative phase of development. In recent time, a collection of this plant has been created and methods of mass reproduction, as well as agricultural measures, are being studied.
