Crescimento de plantas de manjericão e produção de óleo em sistema de produção com cortes sucessivos

AuthorshipSCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

    This work studied the growth of basil plants and the effect of successive cuts on the total yield and quality of the essential oil, throughout the crop cycle. Steady increases were observed in the dry weight of the aerial part and in the essential oil yield, during the cultivation cycle. Intensive cultivation and successive cuts could improve the agronomical and industrial yield in each harvest.
