Abstract

Eight-week-old potted transplants of green leaf type and ‘Opal’ basil were planted in the field on May 21st and harvested at the full blooming phase on August 3rd. Directly before planting, root blocks were inoculated with mycorrhizal fungi using “Vaxi-Root” vaccine. The inoculated plants grew more slowly and their height, stem diameter and fresh weight were lower during the harvest. Mycorrhization did not affect the air-dry weight of plants, the length and the width of leaves, the number of stem branches nor the content of dry matter, monosaccharides, total sugars, phenolic acids, essential oil and the DPPH scavenging ability in fresh basil leaves. The effect of mycorrhization on the content of anthocyans, chlorophyll and L-ascorbic was dependent of basil type.
