Abstract
‘UF16-23-2’ is a basil plant with vigorous upright growth habit, dark green leaf color, good lateral branching, late flowering and excellent resistance to Basil Downy Mildew ( Peronospora belbahrii , BDM). It has a strong upright growth habit with excellent lateral branching which allows it to produce good quantities of high quality leaf tissue. Late flowering and BDM resistance in the greenhouse and field make this cultivar suitable for growers of fresh cut and potted basil for culinary use, and for home gardeners.
