Abstract:
Ocimum sanctum L.is commonly known as Tulsi or Holy Basil, which is a species worshipped by the
Hindus. Ocimum sanctum belongs to the family Lamiaceae. The economically important part of Ocimum
sanctum is its herb (leaves and tender parts of the shoots).Very few studies have been carried out in the
development of agro techniques for its commercial cultivation. The crop geometry or plant spatial
arrangement and appropriate use of manures are considered to be very important for crop quality. Based
on the results of the present study it was inferred that application of vermicompost at the rate of 5-t ha'1
under wider spacing of 50 x 30 cm was the best management practices getting higher productivity and can
be recommended for effective and economic management practices for Tulsi.
