EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT BORON APPLICATIONS ON SEED YIELD AND SOME AGRONOMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF RED LENTIL

This study is to determine the effect of different boron application methods grain yield and some agricultural properties Sakar red lentil variety (Lens culinaris Medic.). Study was conducted in 2018-2019 2019-2020 growing years Boron lack areas Sanliurfa Turkey. Experimental design randomized complete block with four replicates. Borax were used as source plant material, respectively. The applying control (0 kg B da-1), soil (0.20 foliar spraying (when plants have 5-6 leaves 0.05 da-1 pre-flowering period da-1) soil+foliar (to 0.10 + when da-1). According average two years; highest obtained from aplications (198.57 Also harvest index (33.96%), thousand kernel weight (41.78 g), biological (582.96 g/m2) values seen on applications. Protein content (33.29 %) (19.09 mg kg-1) increased applications at years. most effective method determined but other more than parcels.
