Forced germination for Rare Iris basaltica in Lebanon for first time from seeds

(1/1)

Ali A.Taleb:
Greetings everyone,

After the discovery of Iris basaltica, I worked extensively to protect it in situ, and by germinating the seeds in our newly established laboratory at Akkar Trail with the support of a friend. And with many experiments, I managed to germinate them, and now the seedlings are in the growth stage and we have obtained good results, and we will continue to work on other species, to reach the protection of these species that are witnessing a decline in their sites and threatening their demise. And with this step we are taking, we will achieve an integrated vision in protecting and multiplying the Iris, in preparation for the establishment of new sites.
