Abstract
Ocimum basilicum is an important culinary herb; it is highly prized because of the essential oils it produces for defense, which gives its characteristic smell and taste. While O. basilicum has been analyzed for essential oil content there has not been an investigation in to the effects of herbivory on O. basilicum or other culinary herbs. This experiment uses a combination of insect elicitors and a plant hormone to determine the effects of herbivory on O. basilicum height and hormone content.
