###### Abstract
Based on the experimental results, a quadratic model was developed. The optimum conditions for maximizing the responses were realized when the temperature was 25 \({}^{\circ}\)C, the water-to-seed rate was 51:1, and the pH was 5.5. All hydrocolloid solutions (1% \(w/v\)) showed shear thinning behavior in different extraction conditions, and the consistency coefficient and flow behavior index varied from 4.455 to 9.435 (Pa.sn) and from 0.317 to 0.374, respectively. A study [15] was conducted on the extraction of minerals from garden sage using water as a solvent using different extraction conditions. They used a three-factor full factorial design and investigated the effects of these factors, namely, the liquid/solid ratio, extraction temperature, and extraction time, and their interactions. The generated prediction functions resulted in a good fit to the experimental data (R\({}^{2}\) > 99%). The optimum values of the factors were as follows: a liquid/solid ratio of 15 mL/g, an extraction temperature of 100 \({}^{\circ}\)C, and an extraction time of 80 min. In another study [16], the authors developed a dry extraction method for sage seed gum using friction-based techniques. This research demonstrates how process parameters can be optimized using experimental design techniques to maximize performance. The rotor speed, angle of friction, and friction distance were used as dependent variables. The effects of these variables on extraction yield, protein content, and viscosity were evaluated. Optimum conditions for a maximum extraction yield, viscosity, and minimum protein content were determined to be 900 rpm of rotor speed, 6.9 degrees of angle of friction, and 2.2 mm of friction distance. Under these optimized conditions, the extraction yield, protein content, and viscosity were found to be 10.61%, 7.02%, and 112 mPa.s, respectively. The influence of the extraction techniques on the quality of the sage essential oil was investigated in a study [17]. The experimental samples were analyzed for chemical composition, thermal properties, and biological activity. Chemical composition showed that viridiflorol was the principal compound in all samples. Camphor, thujones, and verticiolfollowed this parameter. MWD 400 W was the most potent antioxidant agent, and D 200 W and MWD 400 W were the most potent antimicrobial agents, while hydrodistallates (D 200 W and D 400 W) were the most potent cytotoxic agents. An artificial neural network model was developed for the antioxidant activity of the analyzed samples. This resulted in a good fit to the experimental data (R\({}^{2}\) = 0.998). Although various studies have been conducted on optimizing the extraction process in medicinal and aromatic plants, seed flow uniformity, and seed distribution uniformity on the row, no study has been conducted on the seeding optimization of these plants. Moreover, the common point of the seeding studies is also that these studies are carried out with a universal machine equipped with a fluted roller. Unlike other studies, this study aimed to define the seeding possibility of sage seeds by using a micro-granule applicator equipped with a conveyor belt seed-metering unit that can be precisely adjusted for seed rate, revealing the seed flow uniformity and optimizing the in-row seed distribution uniformity of the seeder. For this purpose, the responses of the micro-granule applicator to different working conditions in sage planting were determined and the optimum working conditions for sage seeds were investigated.
