Abstract :

 The application of organic and inorganic fertilizer to the soil is considered as good agricultural practice because it improves the fertility of the soil and plant quality. The objective of this study is to compare the effect of organic and inorganic fertilizer on Ocimum sanctum. The experiment was arranged in a randomized design in three replicates. Parameters assess include leaf area, height, leaf length and phytochemicals on leaf of Ocimum sanctum. The application of organic fertilizer gave plants with the greatest plant height, leaf area and surface length than the one grown on inorganic fertilizer and the one without the application of any fertilizer. Organic fertilizer produced higher effect on proteins and amino acids as compared to chemical fertilizers. Effect of organic fertilizer in plant phytochemicals was higher than that of inorganic fertilizer and the control plant. The experimental results of this study have showed that organic fertilizer produced higher effect on Ocimum sanctum leaf when compared with inorganic fertilizer. High amounts of phytochemicals recorded in this study gives preference to the use of organic than inorganic fertilizer
