This study was carried out to determine the most suitable method for the germination of cocklebur (Xanthium
strumarium L.) seeds collected in 2014 from the Muslubelen Pass at 1440 m in Yozgat province. Cocklebur seeds treated
with different GA₃ (50, 250, 500, 1000, 2000 ppm) and temperature (in the oven 90 °C and 120 °C for 1, 5 and 10 min ut es)
and seed germination was observed. Germination times and rates were determined by 10 different observations in 13
different applications. Germination times for 24 h GA3 (50, 250, 500, 1000, 2000 ppm), 10 min. in oven (90 °C and 12 0 °C)
was determined as 10 days, and for 1 min. in oven 90 °C and 120 °C (8 and 11th application), and 5 min. in oven 90 °C an d
120 °C (9 and 12th application) germination times determined as 11 days. The germination time in the 13th application (1 0
min at 120 ° C) was 18 days. Germination rates of cocklebur seeds were found to be about 26% in the 13th application (10
min of the plant 120° C), 70% in the 9th application (5 min. of the plant 90° C) and 90-100% in other applications.
