About
Ibrahim Al-Amad’s research bridges plant physiology and sustainable horticulture, with a focus on optimizing propagation techniques for Mediterranean crops. His most cited work investigates the use of natural rooting enhancers, specifically demonstrating how extracts from Babylon weeping willow (<i>Salix babylonica</i>) can significantly improve the rooting success of olive (<i>Olea europaea</i> ‘Nabali’) stem cuttings. This study, presented at the prestigious XXIX International Horticultural Congress (IHC2014), offers an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic rooting hormones, a contribution that has garnered 10 citations and practical relevance for olive growers. Al-Amad’s research addresses key challenges in perennial fruit crop production, emphasizing cost-effective and sustainable methods. His work not only advances the physiology of plant propagation but also supports livelihoods in arid and semi-arid regions where olive cultivation is vital. By integrating traditional knowledge with modern horticultural science, Al-Amad provides actionable insights for improving crop yields and resilience. His findings are a valuable resource for students and researchers exploring natural biostimulants and sustainable agriculture, highlighting the potential of locally available plant extracts to enhance agricultural productivity.
