Table 3: Essential oil composition in “Red Ruby” sweet basil plants on the sixtieth day of cultivation. Averages with standard error of the mean of four measurements are shown. Letters indicate significant differences among treatment and control samples (\(p<0.05\)). Figure 2: Chlorophyll \(a\), chlorophyll \(b\), carotenoid and anthocyanin concentration in sweet basil of “Red Ruby” variety on the 60 th day of cultivation. Values represent mean SEM (n = 20). Letters indicate significant differences among treatment and control samples (\(p<0.05\)).
