Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Increasing ion concentration of the nutrient solution decreased yield and leaf fresh weight of basil.
- Observation Total dry matter of basil varied with harvest time.
- Intervention effect Lower phosphorus and potassium levels in the nutrient solution increased nitrate concentration in basil leaves.
- Intervention effect Higher nitrogen in the nutrient solution increased nitrate levels in basil.
- Intervention effect Soilless culture systems reduced the growth of microbial contamination in basil.
- Intervention effect Mould and yeast contamination was lowest in basil grown with the N6P4K12 nutrient solution.
- Intervention effect Linalool content of basil essential oil was highest at the lowest ion concentration of the nutrient solution.
- Intervention effect The essential oil compound (E)-alpha-bergamotene was highest at the highest ion concentration of the nutrient solution.
