Effects of Variety, planting pattern and density of plant phenology traits basil plants (Ocimum basilicum L.)

ABSTRACT: This plan in spring and summer of 2009 to the factorial and randomized complete block design with three replications was implemented. Two varieties of green and purple, two planting pattern single row and double rows and plant densities of 40,60,80 and 100 plants per square meter were considered. Research results showed that the 4-6 leaves stage cultivar interaction, plant density and varieties of all simple effects, planting pattern and plant density on this trait were significant . results showed that the days to 10% flowering cultivars simple planting pattern and also on the triple interaction was significant trait Meanwhile. Research at days to 90% flowering showed that the simple effect of planting pattern and plant density was significant. days to 50% seed showed that varieties simple effects planting pattern and plant density was significant. Results Days to maturity showed that the simple Variety, planting pattern and plant density and the triple interaction was significant. More days for 4-6 leaves stage and days to10% flowering and days to 90% flowering in the cultivated treatment purple basil and single row planting pattern with 40 plants per square meter respectively with an average 11.33, 33.67 and 56.33 were the days the most days to 50% seed the purple basil seeds in cultivation and planting pattern of single row with 40 plants per square meter per day and the highest average days to maturity 76.33 to handle and purple basil planting pattern with single row with an average density of 40 plants was allocated 86.33 days.
