Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Stomatal conductance of irrigated sweet basil plants was 2.5–4.5 times higher than in non-irrigated plants.
- Intervention effect Irrigation had a positive effect on sweet basil production.
- Intervention effect Watering did not modify the leaf to stem ratio of sweet basil.
- Intervention effect Irrigation negatively influenced the glandular hair density and the essential oil content of sweet basil.
- Intervention effect Irrigation increased essential oil yield of sweet basil by 40–129%, depending on the cultivar.
- Association Significant compositional changes in the essential oil occurred only in cultivar Kasia, for linalool, 1,8-cineole and tau-cadinole ratios.
- Intervention effect Irrigation increased the biomass and essential oil yield of sweet basil.
- Intervention effect The composition of the essential oil of sweet basil is mostly unchanged by irrigation.
- Observation Only slight differences in essential oil were observed among the sweet basil cultivars.
