The proximate, minerals, and phytochemical composition of Ocimum gratissimum plant (OGP) that grew with different manure were investigated. OGseeds were planted in experimental plots in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) laid out in Oyo State College of Agriculture, Igboora with three replicates having plot size 3 m x 3 m of four treatments namely; Treatment A-No fertilizer or manure -(control), B-Poultry manure, C-N:P:K 15:15:15 and D-Compost manure respectively. Other parameters studied were planted height, leave areas, number of leaves and plant girth. The pre-soil test carried out indicated that the soil had organic matter (OM) content of 1.56%, total N 0.11% and available P 16.92 mg/g. This low level of nutrients justified the need for fertilizer Original Research Article
