Building on the commitment of the College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences to promote sustainable agriculture concepts and innovation in the use of plant resources, a scientific research study was completed by master’s student Batool Alaa Kadhem, under the supervision of Assistant Professor Dr. Nawal Mahmoud Alwan, titled:
‘The Effect of Plant Density and Foliar Application with Coconut and Lemongrass Extracts on the Growth, Flowering, and Active Compound Content of Goldenrod (Solidago canadensis).’
This research aligns with sustainable development trends in urban greening and plant diversity. It focuses on the study of goldenrod (Solidago canadensis), a perennial plant widely used as an ornamental species in public gardens and landscapes due to its striking aesthetic appeal, dense golden blooms, and high environmental adaptability.
Additionally, goldenrod is an excellent cut flower that maintains its quality post-harvest and can be used as dried flowers, enhancing the sustainability of value chains in the ornamental plants sector.”
