                            <p>This study determined the effects of boron fertilizer and humic acid on yield and plant properties were determined in curly lettuce varieties under unheated plastic greenhouse conditions. The plants were grown in a mixture of peat: perlite prepared at a ratio of 3:1. Pots of 50x18x16 cm were used as planting pots. The study was set up in a randomized plot design with 3 replications and each pot was considered as application replication. In the study, the seedlings of Fırtına, Olenka and Campania curly lettuce varieties were used as plant material. Boron fertilizer was tested at doses of 0, 50, 100, 200 and 400 g da-1, and humic acid at 0 and 0.2% doses. Yield (g m-2), leaf width (cm), leaf length (cm), number of leaves (number/plant) and root length (cm) were determined in lettuce plants. Boron fertilizer at a dose of 50 g da-1 increased plant yield by approximately 4%. With boron fertilizer applications, while the number of leaves decreased, the root length values increased. While humic acid applications increased plant yield and leaf length values, they had a decreasing effect on leaf number and root length values. The response of cultivars to boron fertilizer applications was different.</p></trans-abstract>

Bitkiler 3:1 oranında hazırlanan torf:perlit karışımında yetiştirilmiştir. Ekim kabı olarak 50x18x16 cm boyutlarındaki saksılar kullanılmıştır. Çalışma tesadüf parselleri deneme deseninde 3 tekerrürlü olarak kurulmuş ve her bir saksı uygulama tekerrürü olarak kabul edilmiştir. Çalışmada bitkisel materyal olarak Fırtına, Olenka ve Campania kıvırcık marul çeşitleri kullanılmıştır. Borlu gübre 0, 50, 100, 200 ve 400 g da-1 dozlarında, humik asit ise 0 ve %0.2 dozlarında denenmiştir. Marul bitkilerinde verim (g m-2), kök uzunluğu (cm) ve yaprak sayısı (adet/bitki) değerleri ile yaprak uzunluğu (cm) ve yaprak eni (cm) değerleri belirlenmiştir. Borlu gübre 50 g da-1 dozunda uygulandığında yaklaşık %4 oranında bitki veriminde artış sağlamıştır. Borlu gübre uygulamaları ile bitkilerde yaprak sayısı azalırken, kök uzunluğu değeri ise artış göstermiştir. Humik asit uygulamaları bitki verimini ve yaprak uzunluğu değerlerini artırırken, yaprak sayısı ve kök uzunluğu değerlerine azaltıcı yönde etki etmiştir. Borlu gübre uygulamalarına çeşitlerin tepkisi farklı bulunmuştur.</p></abstract>
