Abstract: BANAAG, MERCY C. Growth and Yield of Basil (Oeinutin basilican?) Using Different Potting Mixes. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Agriculture major in Horticulture. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite, April 2002. Adviser: Prof Analita dM. Magsino. The study was conducted to test the suitability of different potting mixes as growing media for sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum) under net house conditions. Three commercial potting mixes were purchased from different agricultural firms. Four potting mixes were self-prepared using various organic materials. A pot experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with seven potting mixes as treatments, three replications and five plants per replication. Plant height, number of leaves, number of shoot tips, weight of harvest and plant survival were the parameters used to assess growth and yield of sweet basil. The different potting mixes vary in bulk density. Aeration porosity values, on the other hand, fall within the acceptable range of 10-20% except in one commercial potting media while water retention porosity values ranged from 42.75-53.88%. They have near neutral pH ranging from 6.40-8.10. Nutrient levels vary in different potting mixes particularly in %N and %P contents. Early vegetative growth was uniform in all treatments. More vigorous plants were noted before flowering in Gourmet's Potting Media., Nutri-mix and Enviro-mix. Similarly, yield was also higher in the three mixes. On the other hand, survival was significantly lower in Gourmet's Potting Media due to fungal infection.
