Ten basil (Ocimum basilicum L, family Lamiaceae) seed populations from Serbia were evaluated in this paper. The following parameters were analyzed: germination energy, total germination, mass of 1 000 seeds (absolute seed weight), and content of fatty oil in the seed and plumpness of seed (length, width and thickness). Furthermore, mycobiota was identified on the seed. All examined populations were characterized by high average values for seed germination. The highest average seed germination was determined in the population T-7 and amounts to 96.6%. The greatest mass of 1 000 seeds was determined in population T-7 and it was 1.71 g. The seed of examined populations is characterized by high content of fatty oil. The greatest content was recorded in population T-2 and it was 25.29%. The analysis of seed dimensions established significant differences between average values for length, width and thickness, i.e. plumpness of seeds. Population T-7 was characterized by largest seeds. Five fungi genders were isolated and identified on the seed. Species from Alternaria gender were identified in the seed samples of all examined basis populations. Species from Penicillium gender were isolated from the sample of seeds of eight populations. Aspergillus spp. was identified in the seed sample of two populations. Fungi Trichoderma spp., F. oxysporum and F. verticillioides were identified in the seed sample of one basil population.
