In this study, the influence of biostimulants Radifarm ® on basil transplants (Ocimum basilicum L.) growth and development was examined. Seedlings transplanted into the PVC containers ph 9 cm, the plants were treated with the biostimulant concentration of 0.30% or untreated (control). During the experiment recorded the morphological indicators of growth and development of seedlings (plant height, number of leaves), and finally made measuring root length and fresh and dry weight of roots and above-ground parts. The aim of this study was to determine whether, to what extent and in what manner applied biostimulator impact on improved growth and root development of seedlings of basil, and thus improve the adaptation of the young seedlings in abiotical stress of transplanting into the open field. All the traits were affected by treatment with biostimulants a certain duration of the experiment. Research indicates that the use of biostimulants in the production of basil enhances the growth and development of roots and above-ground parts which is a prerequisite for faster plant adaptation on stress during transplanting.
