Abstract :Boron is one of the most important nutrients required for the growth and development of plants. However, boron deficiency or excess also affects the physiological development of plants such as germination and seedling development. In this study, the effects of boron applications of 0-8 ml L-1 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(4 concentrations); in 2 linseed cultivars [Beyaz Gelin insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(C1); and Sarı Dane insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(C2);] were investigated under laboratory conditions. In the study; germination percentage insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(GP);, mean germination time insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MGT);, seeding length insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SL);, root length insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(RL);, seedling fresh weight insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SFW);, seedling dry weight insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SDW);, root fresh weight insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(RFW);, root dry weight insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(RDW); and relative water content insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(RWC); parameters were examined. As a result of the study, it has been determined that there are decreases in the properties of the cultivars in terms of the parameters examined with boron applications. It has been determined that especially 8 mg L-1 application has a toxic effect and prevents seedling and root development.
