BAZAR, RICKY S. Selection in Basil (Ocimum spp.) as Companion Plant of Tomato (Lycopersicon lycopersicum). Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Agriculture major in Horticulture-Plant Breeding. Cavite State University, Indang Cavite. April 2003. Adviser: Prof. Analita dM. Magsino.
The study was conducted to evaluate the performance of five different species of basil as companion plant of tomato. An area measuring 880 m2 with flat terrain and pH of 5.5 was used. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three blocks as replications. Eleven treatments consisting of six mono-cropping schemes (five basil species and one tomato) and five companion planting schemes of tomato-basil were evaluated. Twenty plants per treatment were used for mono-cropping and ten plants each for tomato-basil companion planting scheme. Plant height, yield of marketable fruits and non-marketable fruits and insect pest population were the parameters evaluated. The eleven treatments did not vary significantly in terms of tomato plant height and weight of marketable and non-marketable tomato. It was noted, however that there were more non-marketable fruits in monocropped tomato compared to any of the tomato-basil companion planting scheme due to insect pest damage. There were more insect pest species found in monocropped tomato than in tomato-basil companion planting. Lower pest population was observed in tomato-basil companion planting than in mono-cropped tomato. Purple basil and lemon basil were chosen as the most effective companion plants of tomato since these basil species caused significant decrease in pest incidence.
