The aim of this study was to evaluate the concentration and chemical composition essential oil leaves basil cultivars hybrids cultivated in different cropping seasons: dry season rainy season.The variables evaluated were content oils two seasons.The ranged from 0.66% 3.21% 0.80% 4.20% major compounds found among genotypes linalool, methyl chavicol, neral, geranial, eugenol, (E)cinnamate, defining formation five groups each season, classified following chemotypes: chavicol (Group 1), citral (neral+geranial) 2), cinnamate 3), linalool 4), intermediate 5).All traits had heritability (h²) greater than 95% high CVg/CVe ratio values.The affected compositions oil.
