Abstract

To increase the production of various green and aromatic crops, including basil, varieties most fully satisfying production requests are needed.

Studies aimed at different varieties of basil revealed great variability of the main agronomically valuable traits of Ocimum L., which
enables the selection of highly productive forms for further selection evaluation.

Research of a collection of different varieties of basil (Ocimum basilicum L., Ocimum tenuiflorum L.) enabled to study indicators of productivity for the selection of the most promising species and forms in order to create new varieties of basil, suitable for cultivation in the Republic of Belarus and combining the necessary economically valuable characteristics.

The conducted research resulted in the creation of the new varieties of basil: Volodar, Nastena, Magiya and Istochnik, which were included in the State register of varieties of the Republic of Belarus and recommended for cultivation in kitchen gardens.
