The College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences at the University of Baghdad witnessed the defense of a PhD dissertation titled, *”The Effect of Organic Media and Bio-Fertilization on the Growth and Flowering of Rose Plants”* by student Fadhil Jawad Kazim from the Department of Horticulture and Landscape Engineering.

The study aimed to convert plant waste into organic fertilizer, reducing environmental pollution and improving the physical, chemical, and biological properties of soil. It also sought to investigate the effect of these practices on the growth, flowering, and storage of two rose hybrids. Additionally, the study encouraged the cultivation of rose plants as they are globally recognized as cut flowers and potted plants, using scientific methods.

The researcher recommended focusing on an integrated fertilization system due to its health and environmental benefits, aligning with modern needs. He also suggested using organic media made from rice husks and sugarcane waste for growing rose plants and applying these methods to other hybrids.

Congratulations to the researcher, and best wishes for continued success.
