Plant Tissue Culture Laboratory
Plant Lab is a pioneer tissue culture laboratory in Lebanon, it’s the only private commercial tissue culture laboratory of its kind. The facility is specialized in the development and micro-propagation of banana plants, potato tubers and avocado seedlings.
Plant Lab has started working on trials based on scientific research and collaboration with experts. The main aim of the lab is to produce virus free and true-to-type plants and seedlings for the local and export market.
In addition to its role in producing disease-free, true-to-type plants, plant tissue culture offers a sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to propagation. It uses significantly fewer resources such as water, chemicals, land, and soil compared to conventional nursery methods. This reduced environmental footprint is crucial for promoting sustainable agriculture.
The significance of Plant Lab extends beyond its innovative practices. In the Lebanese market, there exists a substantial demand for tissue culture seedlings, often imported at high costs due to economic challenges. Plant Lab’s mission is to bridge this gap by rapidly and affordably producing high-quality seedlings, thereby providing local farmers with a sustainable solution and ensuring future investments are more cost-effective.
