Abstract
The study investigated the distribution of boron and its effect on leaf quality in flue-cured (virginia) tobacco, and the obtained data were evaluated. The experiment was conducted as a pot trial under controlled conditions at Ege University Faculty of Agriculture in 2024, using a randomized block design with three replications. In the study, boron dose applications were made as control (B0), 0.05% B (B1), 0.1% B (B2), and 0.2% B (B3). Plant height (cm), number of leaves (number/plant), leaf width (cm), leaf length (cm), fresh and dry leaf weight (g/plant), total alkaloid (nicotine) (%), total reducing sugar (%), crude ash (%), N (%), P (%), K (%), Ca (%), Mg (%), Mn (ppm), Fe (ppm), Cu (ppm), Zn (ppm), and B (ppm) were examined. The highest boron dose was achieved in nicotine and crude ash at B2 doses and in total reducing sugar at B3 doses. A quadratic increase occurred in the applied boron doses in terms of macro and microelements. Based on the results obtained from yield components, some chemical quality characteristics, and macro-microelement contents, the most suitable boron dose for tobacco plants was determined to be 0.05% (B1).
