GENETIC IMPROVEMENT FOR GROWTH AND OIL YIELD OF SELECTED GENOTYPES OF SOME BASIL SPECIES UNDER DIFFERENT TYPES OF ORGANIC FERTILIZATION

Abstract
A field experiment was conducted in South Tahrir, Eiehira Governorate, Egypt,
to investigate the effect of different types of organic fertilization on ten quantitative
characters among 15 basil genotypes belonging to three species of basil. Treatment
types of organic fertilization were (0), (T1), (T2) and (T3). The genetic variation was
observed to be high among genotypes and fertilizers for all studied characters in both
generations. G.C.V% values were high for LG, LFW, HFW, HDW, E096 and EOY in
two generations. Very high heritability values were recorded for SDW and EOYlpIant.
However, moderate heritability values were noted for SFW and HFW in both
generations. As similar, the genetic advance was observed to be high for, LG, LFW
and HFW; these results indicated the gene expression response for organic
fertilization in selected genotypes of basil. Association analysis of studied characters
revealed high significant positive correlation between essential oil yield with NPB,
LFW, LDW, HOW, and EO%,. Regarding to the mean perforr’ha nce of different studied
traits, superior genotypes were identified for direct or further use in breeding programs
to improve basil species under organic fertilization.
