Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of deficit irrigation applications on the chemical compounds and mineral contents of tomatoes. In the study, a tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L) hybrid "Nehir F1" was grown in a greenhouse that had a natural light, heating and ventilation system and was covered with polycarbonate material. The tomatoes were irrigated every three days by applying 60% (T1), 80% (T2), 100% (T3) and 120% (T4) of the evaporation value after reading and determining it from the reduced evaporation pan. The tomatoes were harvested at the red-ripe maturity stage and analyses were performed. As a result of the study a total of 60 compounds were determined in the tomato samples by using Gas chromatography/Mass Spectrometer system. The most abundant compounds in terms of both amount and variety in the tomatoes were identified as ketones, sugars and fatty acid esters. Furthermore, the mineral content of the tomatoes changed according to the irrigation application. K, Mg, P, Ca and Fe were accumulated in the all tomatoes samples.
