It was demonstrated that the content of essential oil in sweet basil depends on the level of nitrogen nutrition and on the term of herb harvest. The greatest content of the essential oil was found in herb harvested at the beginning of blooming using 0.9 g N/plant (0.6 g N pre-vegetation + 0.3 g N after the first harvest). After the fertilization levels: 0.9 g N and 1.2 g N/plant, the leaves of basil cv. Wala were characterized by the most desired aromatic discriminant: basil-like, sharp, spicy and herb-like
