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 .
