Abstract

The effect of plant-derived smoke extract either as smoke extract or aerosol on plant growth parameters of Sanguisorba minor was investigated. Five concentrations of smoke extract (0.002, 0.01, 0.1, 0.2 and 1 v/v) and distilled water as control were used in the first experiment. A randomized complete block design with three replications was used for this experiment. In the second experiment, aerosol smoke and control were studied in a completely randomized design with four replications. Smoke extract, significantly affected all of the plant growth parameters (except amount of chlorophyll) in S. minor. Smoke extract concentrations of 0.1 and 0.01 were the best treatment for growth properties in S. minor. Results of the second experiment showed that aerosol smoke significantly improved all of the plant growth parameters (except leaves number) in S. minor.
