For this aim, soil and water samples were taken from 20 different greenhouses. Soil samples were taken two times before and after planting period; while water samples were taken three times before, middle and after planting period. Texture, pH, electrical conductivity, organic matter and the concentrations of macro and micro elements and heavy metals in the soil samples were analyzed. Also, the chemical properties of irrigation water samples were investigated. According to the results; the majority of soils were found light textured, slightly acidic, low salinity and they contained low amount of organic matter. The total nitrogen (N) amounts of soil samples were rich level; available phosphorus (P), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg) and copper (Cu) amounts were high level. Extractable sodium (Na) and available calcium (Ca) contents were moderate level; available iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) were efficient level; zinc amounts were low level before planting period and high level after planting period. Moreover, it was observed that heavy metal concentrations of soils did not exceed limit values. When the analyses of chemical properties of water samples, it was observed that water was suitable for irrigation and classified C2S1 according to U.S. Salinity Laboratory System classification.  <o:p> </o:p> }, number={1}, publisher={Ege Üniversitesi}
