### Heavy Metal Contents
In the autumn period, the highest Cu content in organic strawberry fruits was found at station 10, and the highest Cu content in conventional strawberry fruits was found at station 4 (Table 10). When the organic and conventionally grown strawberry fruits were compared in terms of Cu content, the average Cu content in the organic-grown \begin{table}

Table 9: Effects of different seasons and cultivation practices on strawberry Zn content (ppm). fruits in the spring was determined to be higher than in the conventional ones; in the conventionally grown fruits, in autumn, the average Cu content was determined to be higher than in the organic ones (Table 10). As a result of the analysis, Pb and Cd contents could not be determined in strawberry fruit samples. Within the scope of the study, samples taken from irrigation water sources of each organic and conventional production station were analyzed in order to determine the heavy metal content of irrigation water.
