In a field experiment carried out between 1984 and 1989 at the experimental station for medicinal and spice plant production of Helsinki University, comparisons were made between 25 basil varieties grown in uncovered soil, in soil covered with black polythene and in polythene tents. The Hungarian experimentals Kislevelu and Kozeplevelu, purchased from the Herbaria Compay and the Hungaroseed Seed Foreign Trading Company, were also included in the experiment. Plant grown under Finnish and Hungarian conditions showed no differences in essential oil composition. Rising N rates did not influence either the essential oil content (0.9-1.1 o/i) or the essential oil composition, but there was a reduction in eugenol content. The main components of the essential oil were linalool, eugenol and methyl cavicol. Plants raised from 3 experimental samples were identical as regards both external traits and chemical characters. There was also agreement in the development rhythm of the plants, the number of branches, the leaf size and the bioproduction. The quantities of the various components in the essential oil (linalool 55-59 o/o or 74-79 o/o, eugenol 9-12 o/o or 3-4 o/o, methyl cavicol 3-5 o/o or 1-3 o/o) indicate 2 separate basil populations belonging to the group of European basils.
