Ocimum basilicum L. is a popular culinary herb used in food-flavour and fragrance. Productivity and essential oil quality of two accessions of basil were assessed. Accessions possessed significantly higher methyl chavicol yield than check variety. Higher essential oil and methyl chavicol yield noticed in rain-autumn cropping season. Composition of studied accessions is similar to Reunion-basil (≥80% methyl chavicol).
