Propagating Basil • Choose a stem 4 inches long that has not flowered. Cut the stem off right below a leaf node – the point where a leaf adjoins the main stem. • Fill a clean glass jar with water and place it on the windowsill that gets bright light. • Remove leaves from the lower 2 inches of the basil stem. Then stick it into water. • Change the water every couple of days until roots form (2 to 4 weeks). Rooted Cutting • Transplant the basil into at least a 6-inch container when the roots grow to a few inches long. • Water the soil in and gently place the cutting in a pot or the garden. Sowing Seed indoors • Starting seeds indoors means earlier maturing plants and additional harvests. • Sow basil seed indoors 4 to 6 weeks before transplanting. Sowing in the garden requires soil temperatures above 65–70 F to germinate. • Use fluorescent light fixture. Place light fixtures on a chain 2 to 3 inches above the plants. • Set a timer so the seedlings will receive 16 hours of light daily. Indoor Seed Starts • Basil is sun loving, tolerates heat but will not tolerate cold. • To propagate seeds use plastic pots 1½ to 2 inches deep with drainage holes. Soilless Mix of Equal Parts Sphagnum Peat – Stable, long- lasting, well-aerated, and moisture-retentive, but low in nutrients. For lightweight, short-term mixes. Perlite is expanded volcanic rock granules. Sterile, inert, light, retains moisture but drains freely. or Vermiculite is expanded and air- blown mica. Acts similarly to perlite but holds more water and less air. Good Hygiene • Sterilize o Pots o Tools o Soil • Use distilled water • Damping Off — A water- and soil- borne fungus spreads rapidly in wet soil mix. Seedlings flop over, often with a brown shrunken ring at the stem base, and white fungus appears. Soil Preparation Place a layer up to 3 Place soil in a roasting bag, inches deep in a baking pierce the bag and heat on dish and bake in the full power in a microwave oven for 30 minutes at oven for 10 minutes. 400°F Note: Do not put soil with vermiculite or perlite in the microwave oven. They will start a fire. Planting & Growing • It is not necessary to cover the seeds with medium when they are sown indoors. (⅛ inch okay) • Tamp down to eliminate air pockets. • Water gently so the seeds don’t wash out of place. • Cover the container with plastic or put it in a transparent freezer bag. Growing Seedlings • Place the container in a warm spot 70°F, but do not allow the sunlight to hit the seeds or it can cook them in the plastic. • Check the seeds every day. Lighting • As soon as the first sprout of life is evident, remove the plastic cover and place the sprout 2–3 inches below lights for 16 hours a day. • The lights may be plant grow or regular fluorescent lights. • Don’t water the first day.

  • Crop Profile for Basil in New Jersey Ocimum Basilicum (L.) O
    Crop Profile for Basil in New Jersey Ocimum basilicum (L.) O. tenuiflorum O. americanum Lamiales: Lamiaceae Prepared: 2008 General Production Information Yearly production: Approximately 450 acres % of crop for fresh market: 100% % of crop grown for retail market: 10 % % of crop grown for wholesale market: 90 % Production Regions The majority of basil production occurs in the southern New Jersey counties of Atlantic (100 acres), Cumberland (225 acres), and Gloucester (50 acres). There is some basil production in the central counties of Monmouth, Ocean, and Burlington, amounting to less than 50 acres. Soils in southern and much of central New Jersey are light, ranging from sand to sandy loam with some areas of silt loam. Basil production in the southern region extends from early April to October. In this region, basil is predominantly grown for the wholesale market, with plant stems generally cut or pulled, washed and bundled in 12-15 plant or stem bunches. Wholesale units are 15-count (bunch) crates. Some basil in this region is produced for the retail market and sold at farm stands or directly to restaurants. In this case, basil is generally sold by the bunch. In the northern counties of Hunterdon, Mercer, Morris, Warren, and Sussex, many growers produce basil, but on minimal acreage. Soils in the northern region are typically Piedmont (heavy silt loams) and Appalachian (shaley) soils. The field season begins in mid-May here, and continues until cold weather terminates production. In the north, basil is grown exclusively for retail at farm stands and at community-sponsored farmers markets. Typical growers in this region produce less than one half acre of basil.

Essential Oil Composition under Different Nutritional Treatments 12Afaq Ahmad Malik, Showkat R. Mir and 1Javed Ahmad 1Department of Botany, Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi 110062, India 2Department of Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry, Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi 110 062, India Abstract: The use of un-exploited organic industrial by-products and municipal wastes as soil organic amendment has an economic value and environmental interest. However, little is known about their effectiveness on medicinal plants cultivation. An experiment was conducted in this regard to assess the impact of farmyard manure (FYM), composted sugarcane pressmud (CPM) and sewage sludge biosolid (SSB) on volatile oil composition of Ruta graveolens L., an important aromatic medicinal herb used frequently in Unani system of medicine in India. Volatile oil in the aerial parts of the plant was isolated by hydro-distillation and analyzed by GC-MS. Hydro-distillation of untreated (control) plants yielded 0.32% essential oil on fresh weight basis. The predominant components in the essential oil were n-Hex-4-en-3-one (55.06%), n-Pent-3-one (28.17%), n-Hex-3-en-2-one (14.07%) and n-Hex-5-en-3-one (0.67%). Essential oil obtained from plants treated with FYM amounted to 0.36% of fresh weight and consisted mainly of n-Hex-4-en-3-one (53.64%), n-Pent-3-one (37.82%) and n-Hex-3-en-2-one (7.22%).

China; e-mail: [email protected] 2Department of Biology, College of Science, University of the Philippines Baguio, 2600 Baguio City, Philippines 3Graduate School of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100039,P.R.China Abstract: Trichome micromorphology of leaves and young stems of nine taxa (including four varieties) of Colquhounia were examined using light and scanning microscopy. Two basic types of trichomes were recognized: eglandular and glandular. Eglandular trichomes are subdivided into simple and branched trichomes. Based on the number of cells and trichome configuration, simple eglandular trichomes are further divided into four forms: unicellular, two-celled, three-celled and more than three-celled trichomes. Based on branching configuration, the branched eglandular trichomes can be separated into three forms: biramous, stellate and dendroid. Glandular trichomes can be divided into two subtypes: capitate and peltate glandular trichomes. Results from this study of morphological diversity of trichomes within Colquhounia lend insight into infrageneric classification and species relationships. Based on the presence of branched trichomes in C. elegans,thisspecies should be transferred from Colquhounia sect. Simplicipili to sect. Colquhounia. We provide a taxonomic key to species of Chinese Colquhounia based on trichome morphology and other important morphological traits. Key words: Colquhounia; glandular hairs; leaf anatomy; Lamioideae; Yunnan Introduction in spikes or capitula; equally 5–toothed calyces; and nutlets winged at apex (Li & Hedge 1994).

    plants Article Physiological Responses of Ocimum basilicum, Salvia officinalis, and Mentha piperita to Leaf Wounding Konstantinos Vrakas, Efterpi Florou, Athanasios Koulopoulos and George Zervoudakis * Department of Agriculture, University of Patras, Terma Theodoropoulou, 27200 Amaliada, Greece; [email protected] (K.V.); evtefl[email protected] (E.F.); [email protected] (A.K.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The investigation about the leaf wounding effect on plant physiological procedures and on leaf pigments content will contribute to the understanding of the plants’ responses against this abiotic stress. During the experiment, some physiological parameters such as photosynthesis, transpiration and stomatal conductance as well as the chlorophyll and anthocyanin leaf contents of Ocimum basilicum, Salvia officinalis, and Mentha piperita plants were measured for about 20–40 days. All the measurements were conducted on control and wounded plants while in the latter, they were conducted on both wounded and intact leaves. A wide range of responses was observed in the wounded leaves, that is: (a) immediate decrease of the gas exchange parameters and long-term decrease of almost all the measured variables from O. basilicum, (b) immediate but only short-term decrease of the gas exchange parameters and no effect on pigments from M. piperita, and (c) no effect on the gas exchange parameters and decrease of the pigments content from S. officinalis. Regarding the intact leaves, in general, they exhibited a similar profile with the control ones for all plants. These results imply that the plant response to wounding is a complex phenomenon depending on plant species and the severity of the injury.

  • FAMILY PHYSICIAN with Essential Oils “I Finally Figured out How to Use Essential Oils—TAKE OFF the CAP”
    FAMILY PHYSICIAN With Essential Oils “I finally figured out how to use essential oils—TAKE OFF THE CAP” You can use all of the oils 3 ways; Topically, Internally (drip into an empty gel cap) and with the diffuser. If the bottle has a ‘supplement’ box on the label, you can feel completely safe using it internally. When diluting* the essential oils, use one drop of Coconut Oil for one or two drops of the essential oil. It is not necessary to dilute the essential oils, but for some essential oils which are particularly cool (Peppermint, Wintergreen) or hot (Oregano, Cinnamon, Clove, Cassia), it may not be comfortable on your skin without diluting, and may be particularly uncomfortable for a child. If you use an oil without diluting and it is uncomfortable to the recipient, simply apply a small amount of coconut oil and it will quickly resolve the problem. Also, if you are using the oils on an open sore or wound, it is always a good idea to dilute with coconut oil. Diffusion is powerful because the child can breathe it in and it kills microorganisms in the air which helps stop the spread of sickness. If the oils get in the eyes, it will sting but will not do damage. Simply rub a few drops of your diluter oil on the eye and it will help to relieve the suffering. You can combine and mix any of the oils as much as you like and the oils are safe with any medication. If you are not sure how to apply the oil, know that you can ALWAYS rub it on the bottoms of the feet and you will get the full affect.
