ABSTRACT

MAIN ELEMENTS OF SWEET BASIL CULTIVATION TECHNIQUES During the long cultivation history of basil, numerous experiments have been carried out to specify the elements of basil cultivation techniques suitable for different climatic regions (Darrah 1972). For example, in the Horticultural Abstract Literature review during 19731993 more than 105 publications deal with agronomical matters. As a result of the research and the practical efforts, there is a great variability in the cultivation methods of basil around the world.
