Nutrient monitoring of basil

Basil requires low levels of fertilization, growing best with 100 to 150 ppm N for containerized crops or 0.5 to 1.5 mS/cm for hydroponic nutrient solutions. Plants prefer a pH within the range of 5.8 to 6.2 for both soilless substrates and hydroponic solutions. This range prevents low substrate pH-induced iron (Fe) and manganese toxicities and Fe deficiency.
