Studiu privind influenţa diferitelor variante de mulcire asupra capacităţii agroproductive a patru cultivare diferite de busuioc

The goalof this paper is toevaluatethe effect of mulching on the yield of four basil cultivars,cultivated according to the ecological agricultural rules:Aromat de Buzau–green basil, Serafim–violet basil, Macedon–lemon-flavoured basil and a clove-flavoured basil local population.The experiment was carried outduring2018, in theexperimental fieldof Vegetable Growing Disciplineof U.S.A.M.V. Iasi. The cropwas established via seedlings, at distances of 50 x 20 cm, resulting a density of 100000 plants/ha. The obtained results showed that the factors cultivar and mulching applicationhad a significant relevance on yield. Cultivars determined significant yield differences and mulching application determined an important increase of the yield (16.8%)
