In the study, the vertical movement and accumulation of Cu, Zn and Mn added to the soil for agricultural practices suchas the uses of pesticides and fertilizers in the greenhouses of cut flower production were examined and their changes inthe soil profile were determined.For the comparisons, soil samples were taken from greenhouses and fields both before and after harvest at the depthsof 0-5, 5-10, 10-20, 20-40, 40-80, 80-100 cm. The extractable Cu, Zn and Mn contents were determined using DTPAmethod. The Zn and Mn contents were found to be significantly different in terms of depths, sampling areas and seasonswhile Cu content did not show significant differences among samplesAs a result, it was observed that Zn and Mn added to the soil for agricultural practices leached out of the soil, but Cutended to accumulate in the soil.
