Investigation on yield and some agronomic and breeding characteristics of basil masses

Abstract: Basil is used as vegetable and assigned as medicine and spice plant. In order to evaluation of some characteristic genotypes of basil, some of morphological and agronomical factors of 15 types of green and purple were studied in Mazandaran province. There are 6 genotypes purple color and 9 numbers green. This study carried out for 2 years in randomize complete blocks design (2009-2010) at Gharakheil Research Station. The plants measure for determine of yield. For other characteristics 20 plants randomly sampled and weighed them. The results showed significant difference among masses of basil in Mazandaran. Green basil had the highest yield of vegetable with 23.63 ton/ha. The most correlation showed r = 0.999 about weight of leaf to stem ration. According to cluster by UPMGA method treats divided to 2 groups.
