The behavior of the microturbulence (xi) in the H-R diagram corresponding to A-F stars is investigated, based on a comparison of the observed and theoretical strengths of the O I triplet lambda 7771-5. The non-LTE effect, which along with xi significantly affects the strength of this line, was adequately accounted for by applying the results from detailed non-LTE calculations performed on a sufficiently realistic model O I atom. It is seen that for stars of the luminosity classes III-V, there seems to exist a maximum peak of xi at about late A, which may be related to a convective zone lying near to the photosphere in stars of this spectral type.
