The essential oil (EO) of Bassia muricata shoots was extracted via hydro-distillation and then investigated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Thirty-four compounds were recognized for the first time from this plant, representing 100% of the total mass. Terpenoids represented the major components with 69.17% of the total mass, containing oxygenated sesquiterpenes (53.18%), oxygenated monoterpenes (9.77%), sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (5.03%), and diterpenes (1.19%). Additionaly, 6-methoxy-1-acetonaphthone was the only aromatic compound represented in a high percentage of the total identified compounds with 22.35%. Additionally, a percent of 8.48% of the total mass was hydrocarbons. Only one oxygenated sesquiterpene namely hexahydrofarnesyl acetone representing 47.35% of the total mass was identified. It was followed by methoxy-1-acetonaphthone (19.92%), n-dotriacontane (3.58%), endo-borneol (3.24%), 6-methy-α-ionone (3.04%), and α-gurjunene (2.65%). The EO exhibited moderate antioxidant activity comparable with ascorbic acid as a standard, where it attained IC₅₀ value of 20.70 µL L⁻¹ and 16.32 µL L⁻¹, for DPPH and ABTS. The EO of B. muricata significantly reduces the germination and seedling development of the weed Chenopodium murale. The EO showed an IC₅₀ value of 175.60 µL L⁻¹, 246.65 µL L⁻¹, and 308.33 µL L⁻¹ for root growth, shoot growth, and germination, respectively. Therefore, this EO could be a good green resource for the control of weeds.

巴斯里巴斯塔香精油（EO）通过水蒸馏提取枝条，然后通过气相色谱-质谱法进行研究。该植物首次鉴定出34种化合物，占总质量的100％。萜类化合物是主要成分，占总质量的69.17％，其中包含氧化的倍半萜（53.18％），氧化的单萜（9.77％），倍半萜碳氢化合物（5.03％）和二萜（1.19％）。另外，在总鉴定化合物中，高含量的6-甲氧基-1-乙酰萘酮是唯一的芳香族化合物，占22.35％。另外，占总质量的8.48％的百分比是碳氢化合物。仅鉴定出一种氧化的倍半萜烯，即占总质量的47.35％的六氢法呢基丙酮。其次是甲氧基-1-乙酰萘酮（19.92％），n-三碳三烯（3.58％），内-冰片（3.24％），6-甲基-α-紫罗兰酮（3.04％）和α-古丁烯（2.65％）EO表现出与抗坏血酸为标准的适度抗氧化活性，对于DPPH和ABTS，EO的IC ₅₀值为20.70 µL L ^-1和16.32 µL L ^-1。的EO B.柃显著减少杂草的萌发和幼苗发育藜murale。所述EO显示的IC ₅₀的175.60μLL值^-1，246.65μL大号^-1，和308.33μL大号^-1分别用于根生长，芽生长和发芽。因此，该EO可能是控制杂草的良好绿色资源。
