All artificial drought conditions were created in a climate room with 400 µmol/m2s light intensity at 25/20°C (day/night) temperature, 65-70% relative humidity, 12/12 (light/night) hour photoperiod. In the experiment, Mibuna (Brassica rapa var. nipposinica), Mizuna (Brassica rapa var. Japonica), Misome (Brassica campestris var. narinosa), Komatsuna (Brassica rapa var. perviridis), Japanese mustard (Brassıca juncea L.), Chinese mustard (Brassica campestris var. chinensis), Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.), Chives (Allium schoenoprasum), Basil (Ocimum basilicum), Molehiya (Corchorus capsularis), and Corchorus olitoruus) were used. Hoagland hydroponic solution was given by drip irrigation in hydroponic system during the emergence and seedling periods, and then water stress applications were launched. The experiment design was randomized plots with 5 replication consisting of 10 species (Mibuna, Mizuna, Misome, Komatsuna, Japanese mustard, Chinese mustard, Coriander, Chives, Basil, and Molehiya) and 4 PEG6000 concentrations (Control, -4 MPa, -8 MPa, and -12 MPa). Plant nutrient analyses were performed during the harvest period. According to the obtained results from the trial, when the PEG6000 concentrations in the Hoagland hydroponic solution were increased, amount of macro-micro nutrients decreased. As a result, in places with drought problems, chives, Molehiya, and Japanese mustard cultivation could be recommended due to being more drought-resistant than other species.
