This research was carried out during the period of (2010-2013) to study the possibility
of benefiting from the raw seaweeds residues accumulated on the Syrian beach in obtaining
an alternative substrates instead of the traditional one for using in
nurseries especially
forestry and thus reducing the peat moss importation and saving the currency, at the same
time salvation the environment from the organic plant waste and improve the seashores
appearance. This research included two main experiments which were:
First: Substrates experiment
Second: Soaking seeds in seaweeds extract experiment
Finally it should be noted that this described work has added some important positive
results in choosing a new substrates which will help in the future to solve the traditional and
imported media problems, and it also provided an effective and economical solution for
marine plant waste management and disposal from the environmental pollution in the coastal
regions.
