Abstract :This study was carried out to determine the quality of underground irrigation waters used in the greenhouses in the Ortaca Region. For this purpose, a total of 25 samples were taken from randomly chosen greenhouses. In the water samples, EC, pH, Ca++, Mg++, Na+, K+, CO3--, HCO-3, Cl- ve SO4-- of analyses were carried out, and SAR, Na % and RSC were calculated. Results of the analyses were evaluated according to the criteria of irrigation quality. The results obtained showed that the irrigation waters used in the greenhouses in Ortaca region were generally moderate insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(76 %); salinity. The rest of the samples insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(24 %); had high salinity. In terms of the SAR and the content of Na %, whole samples had no problem, and thus, they were considered as 1st class irrigation waters. The most important problem of the samples was chloride. It was found that majority of the insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(76 %); samples had sulfate and the rest had no sulfate.
