Due to favorable ecological conditions, the coastal part of the
Mediterranean region, for the production of early table varieties such
as Early Sweet, Prima, Yalova incisi, Early Cardinal, Cardinal, Trakya
İlkeren, Ergin Çekirdeksizi, Black Magic, and Victoria is important. These
varieties ripen in the open field at the beginning of June in the region. Grapes
are grown in the greenhouse for earlier grape maturation in the region (Tangolar
2016).
Greenhouse cultivating began with glass greenhouses established in
Antalya for the first time in Türkiye. Then, in 1940-1960, rapid progress was
conducted with the use of plastic greenhouses in Türkiye (Sevgican et al.
2000). Soilless farming is a technique widely applied in greenhouse cultivation.
In this technique, materials such as perlite, zeolite, pumice, vermiculite, rock
wool, sand, sawdust, peat, cocopeat (coconut fiber), and plant compost are used
for solid substrates culture (Tangolar et al. 2017; Kaya et al. 2018; Tangolar et
al. 2019a). Different methods are applied, ranging from water cultures (food
film technique, etc.) to water and nutrient solutions (Koral 2006).
