Özet

In recent years, consumers reliable food consuming demand makes the Use of non-hazardous inputs and production technologies for human health and the environment unavoidable. Nowadays, the production in greenhouses is being as dependent upon ecological conditions and sonic efficiency and quality losses ill production are occuring because of the dependency. Because greenhouses are intensive agricultural lands, synthetic chemicals are used intensively to reduce the losses in product. These substances, which make environmental pollution, harm natural balance and threaten human health, are plant growth regulators (hormones), commercial (chemical) fertilizers, and pesticides. The objective of this research was to analyze the producers', who produce greenhouse vegetables in Antalya, Mersin, Mugla, and Izmir, use of input (fertilizer, pesticide, hormone, labor, seed-seedling etc). For this purpose, the current input usage levels of 204 growers, who have been included in the extent of the research by random sampling, was examined.
