Effect of Nutrient Integrated Management on Oil Yield, Nitrogen Balance and Economics of Basil (Ocimum basilicum) Cultivation

Basil (Ocimum Basilicum L.): Growth, Yield, Quality and Economics Influenced With Organic Manures and Biofertilizers

“…Use of organic manure with bio-fertilizer increased the production of oil yield along with soil fertility, which lead to enhanced net returns. Implementation of a balanced fertilization is the way of increasing productivity and economic profitability of basil according to Mansour et al(2017). Similar results were observed by Sahu et al (2020) in fenugreek and Meena et al (2022) in Ocimum.…”

“…The other logical clarification behind increased vegetative growths might be the formation of plant growth regulators by microorganism in rhizosphere, which are absorbed by the roots (Meena et al, 2022). Similar result was seen in Darzi (2012), Arafa et al (2017), Mansour et al (2017) and Ram et al (2019).…”

“…The other logical clarification behind increased vegetative growth might be the formation of plant growth regulators by microorganism in rhizosphere, the application of organic manures might have supply adequate quantity of micro and macro nutrients, which arise higher metabolic rate and auxin activities in the plant, resulting in better growth attributes which are absorbed by the roots, Ram et al (2019). Similar result was observed by Arafa et al (2017), Harish Kumar et al (2019, Darzi et al (2013) and Mansour et al (2017). FYM contains good C/N ratio and soil gets easily mineralized into available forms which ultimately leads to increased nutrient uptake.…”
