RESEARCH:
Arab National Company maintains three research
stations. The first one is Jerash Research Station which is located in Jerash ,
40 Km North-East of Amman . At this station we conduct breeding programs to
develop new cultivars of vegetable crops (Cucumber, Squash, Tomato). At the same
time, we run cultivars screening, yield trials, and field days for fresh market
produce and processors products. Results are reported annually in a scientific manner. The other two research stations
are located in Jordan Valley
where we advance our breeding programs during winter season without any heating
system by taking the advantage of being the lowest area (below sea level) on the
globe, this privilege gives us the opportunity to discover and develop
cold-tolerant genotypes of vegetable crops and to check our cultivars under two
different climates . Currently, we are about to produce our own cultivars of
Tomato and Squash which fit our environment and the environment of the
neighboring countries .
Our main interests in our breeding programs
are crop productivity, fruit quality, disease resistance, and environmental
stress tolerance .
Regarding chemical fertilizers, we are about
to produce crystalline MAP which comes up as a result of our research which is
conducted by our chemists and researchers. Moreover, we are the biggest
producers of Urea Phosphate in the Middle East and we have the capability to
produce all forms and formulas of chemical fertilizers including soluble,
powder, liquid, and suspension .
