N2  - Drought is one of the severe abiotic stresses, causing higher annual crop loss than all  plant pathogens combined. Sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.), a widely valued  medicinal and aromatic plant, is particularly vulnerable to drought stress, which  negatively impacts its growth, marketable yield, and essential oil content. In  commercial basil production, drought stress significantly limits biomass accumulation  and disrupts the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites. Biostimulants and  phytohormones have emerged as promising tools to enhance the resilience of sweet  basil plants to drought stress. Among them, silicon (Si), salicylic acid (SA), gibberellic  acid (GA3), and methyl jasmonate (MeJA) have individually demonstrated the ability  to mitigate drought-induced damage by improving plant growth, physiological  responses, and yield. This investigation aimed at evaluating the combined effects of Si  either with SA, GA3, or MeJA in improving drought resilience in sweet basil. Given
