Growth possibility of japanese basil in organic hydroponics

Abstract

As a result of preliminary research, the possibility of obtaining organic plant raw material in hydroponic conditions has been confirmed. It was found that among organic fertilizers added to volcanic slag and gravel mixture, application of manure was the most effective. And when using two doses of manure and guano, maximum yield of fresh leaves of Japanese basil and essential oil output was observed. Identical results were also obtained when the plants were nourished with two doses of manure, guano and biohumus. Under these conditions, the yield of the leaves exceeded the other variants 1.5-3.5 times, but was inferior to soil plants 1.9 times. Minimum essential oil content was observed in control variants and when nourishing the plants with only gunao.
