Quinoa is a nutrient-rich plant native to the Andean region of the South American continent. To investigate the effect of boron priming on Germination indices of three genotypes of kinoa, a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design at School Seed Processing Laboratory Agriculture was performed at Shahed University of Tehran. The first factor contains 3 genotypes (1 Giza, Titicaca, Sajama) and the second factor contains 6 The levels of boron priming were control, hydropriming, concentrations of 1, 2, 3 and 4 per thousand. GERMINATION, NUMBER OF NORMAL AND NORMAL SEEDLINGS, NUMBER OF HARD AND SOUL SEED SEEDS, GERMINATION SPEED, MEDIUM GERMINATION PERIOD, homogeneity Germination and germination rates were. The results showed that the effect of genotype, priming and their interaction on most traits were significant. Priming with 1 B boron solution increased germination percentage, germination rate, number of normal seedlings, average germination time, Homogeneity of germination and germination rate were recorded. It was also observed that the application of high concentrations of boron caused negative effects on the indices Germinates. The best results were obtained by priming with 1 in 1,000 boron solution. Also the best Kinova genotypes in terms of Germination indices were Titicaca and Giza 1 genotypes which were not statistically significant.
