The study was carried out in 2019–2020, in the conditions of the Right-Bank ForestSteppe of Ukraine. The results on the influence of absorbents in gel and powder forms on the
productivity of basil plants (Ocimum basilicum L.) are presented. For research were used field,
laboratory, statistical and calculation-analytical methods. Absorbent in the form of a gel was used
while transplanting: dip the roots of the plant in the solution and then transplant in the field.
Absorbent in the form of a powder - 5 kg ha-1
, application of the absorbent into the soil layer
20–25 cm-1
. Absorbents contributed to a slight decrease of sugar content (-0.86–2.68% in the
cultivar of Badioryi, -1.48–2.35% in the cultivar of Rutan), significantly decrease ascorbic acid
(-8.6–20.1%) and content of the essential oil (8.0–19.4%) and indirectly increased essential oil
yield by increasing fresh weight yield in both varieties. The activity of APX, CAT, SOD, tended
to decrease in all variants of the experiment, regardless of the form of the absorbent. APX
(-12.8–35.1%), CAT (-10.9–22.0%), SOD (-11.9–17.0%). Higher yields were observed in the
version with the introduction of the absorbent in the form of a gel. Thus, the yield of the cultivars
of Badioryi and Rutan exceeded the control by 52.67 and 50.05%, in accordance. The
productivity of basil is increased with the use of superabsorbent polymers. This practice can be
recommended to agricultural producers who grow vegetables, in particular, basil in areas of
unstable or insufficient moisture.
