There is a great potential for production of different types of ornamental plants in the country due to the climate and skilled labor force. Furthermore, a valuable and unique genetic source of flowers in our country has created a great capacity for mass production of flowers to fully participate in the world markets. Unfortunately, poor management related to producers and lack of scientific researches in the marketing field are the main reasons for our failure in international markets of ornamental plants.
Having a desired ecological variation and good potential for ornamental plant production, the great Khorasan province will be able to play an important role in flower export.
Objectives of the Ornamental Plants Research Group
• Adaptation and introduction of new ornamental plant species through taking advantage of huge genetic resources available in the country.
• Investigation on plant quality improvement in ornamental plants.
• Improving and optimizing ornamental plants production methods.
• Investigation on the probability of reproducing implants for crossbred ornamental plants through developing new combinations.
• Taking advantage of biotechnology methods in ornamental plants improvement.
• Designing and foundation an ornamental plants garden within the Botanical Garden of FUM.
