Abstract

Greenhouse
cultivation plays an important role in agricultural production owing to grow
rapidly, produce higher yields in shorter times and out of season in smaller
areas. Heavy metal has threatened soil, water, enviroment and sustainable
agriculture because of with intensive cultivation and high input (pesticides,
fertilizer, water) in greenhouse. Heavy metal pollution which is the most
important of inorganic pollution parameters, is a worldwide problem in
agricultural lands and poses a long-term risk to environment due to toxic
effect and accumulation features. The aim of this study was to determine heavy
metal levels of irrigation water in greenhouse in Tokat provience, Turkey. For
this purpose, in total 60 water samples were taken from different 30
greenhouses. The levels of heavy metals (Ni, Cd, Cr, Pb, Cu, Zn) were
determined by using inductively couple plasma optic emission spectrometry (ICP
OES) according to standard methods. The levels of heavy metals in analyzed
samples were found to be lower than permissible levels of FAO-WHO.
