### Heavy Metal Contents  
As a result of analyses carried out to evaluate strawberries in terms of pollution risk, the overall pollution level of heavy metals in strawberries in Huyvik was low. Likewise, while low levels of Zn and Cu residues were found in the fruit samples taken, Pb and Cd were not detected (Tables 9 and 10). This situation shows that organic and conventional strawberries produced in the region where intensive strawberry cultivation is carried out do not carry high risk in terms of Zn, Cu, Pb and Cd heavy metals. In the spring period, the highest Zn content among organic strawberry stations was determined at station 6, while it was found at station 3 among the conventional stations (Table 9).

Table 7: Effects of different seasons and cultivation practices on strawberry fruit width (mm). were also evaluated and the highest Zn content in organic strawberry fruits was found at station 5, and in conventional strawberry fruits at stations 3 and 8. In addition, it was also determined that the average Zn content in the conventionally grown fruits in the spring and autumn period was higher than that in the organic ones (Table 9). In the spring period, the highest Cu content in organic strawberry fruits was found at station 7 (Table 10).
