The aim of this research was to determine iron fertilization response of beans plants and the relationship between chlorosis indices values and some properties of soils. Soil samples taken from 0-20 cm depth of agricultural lands from Bafra, Çarşamba and Suluova districts were determined some physical and chemical properties and iron chlorosis index values. Fe0: 0 (control), Fe1:2, Fe2:4 ve Fe3:8 mg kg-1 doses of Fe-EDDHA in the form of iron (Fe) were applied to the experiment soils in the greenhouse conditions to detect respons to the iron fertilization of bean plants. As the lime of soils increased, the amount of beans dry matter with Fe-EDDHA application increased. When total and active lime content of the soils have increased it is determined that a decrease in the available iron contents and an increase in the chlorosis indices 1 and 2 values of soils. As the chlorosis indices-1 and indices-2 values of soils increased, the rate increase of dry matter amount with iron application compared to the control (Fe0) increased. While increasing sand content of soil led to a reduction of plant-available iron, increasing organic matter content resulted rising plant-available iron.
