Abstract

A two-year fixed field experiment was designed in Artvin, Turkey, with the
aim of determining the effect of soil and foliar boron treatment on fresh leaf yield,
shoot length, and also the transport and distribution of boron in the shoots of
the tea plant. The experiment was conducted in a domestic producer’s tea garden
indicating boron deficiency in Arhavi district of Artvin. In the experiment, 400 g B da^-1
to the soil and 400 mg B L^-1 to the leaves of the tea plant were
applied in a liquid form. DOT (Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate, Na₂B₈O₁₃.4H₂O) with 20.8 % B was
used as a boron source. At the end of the
experiment, it was determined that soil and foliar boron treatment caused a
substantial increase in the fresh leaf yield, the shoot length, and also the
boron concentration of the shoots of the tea plant. However, the boron
concentration of the leaves at the tip of the shoots was still under the
critical level.
