- Intervention effect Highest yield in both basil varieties was obtained with nutrient solution without ammonium.
- Association The two basil varieties responded differently to the nutrient solution.
- Association Sweet basil had the highest total phenol content, 92 mg gallic acid equivalent per gram of dry weight.
- Association Purple basil had the highest total phenol content, 100 mg gallic acid equivalent per gram of dry weight.
- Intervention effect Sweet basil had the lowest antioxidant capacity in the same nutrient solution.
- Recommendation Moderate total nitrogen content is suitable for sweet basil.
- Recommendation A nutrient solution with low ammonium can be more suitable for purple basil.
