Investigation of impact of novel plant origin products on sweet basil has been carried out in 2014-2015. The plants were grown in the poly tunnel. The test on sweet basil quality parameters was carried out in the Laboratory of the Quality of Plant Raw Materials at Aleksandras Stulginskis University applying standardized analysis methods. It has been determined that, the sweet basil comparing with the control grew best in both 2014 (80.1 cm) and 2015 (80.8 cm) when biological products Canelys, Ekoflavon and Ekoflavon + Oleorgan were applied. In 2014, the most significant absolute dry matter content (92.20%) was accumulated using Oleorgan, and in 2015, significantly the highest dry matter content (90.19%) has been accumulated using Ecoflavon + Canelys. The most significant (11.64%) crude fibre content in 2014 has been obtained under Canelys application, while in 2015, significantly the highest result (14.26%) has been collected by the control. Significantly the highest quantity of crude ash (19.44%) in 2014 has been determined when the plants were treated with Canelys, however in 2015, the best result (21.86%) has been obtained after the use of the Oleorgan. The most significant (20.07%) crude protein content in 2014 has been accumulated when the plants were treated with Ekoflavon. Therefore, in 2015 significantly the highest (16.68%) crude protein content was found in the treatment Ekoflavon + Canelys, still the result did not differ significantly from the treatment when only Ecoflavon was used. The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of some biological products on the growth and qualitative characteristics of sweet basil.
