Director’s Message
Distinguished Researchers,
Iğdır University Fruit Growing Application and Research Center was established primarily to contribute to the education and research activities of our university. For this reason, it will be very important to ensure the support and contributions of the Faculty of Agriculture, which is our closest stakeholder, while carrying out our work. However, it is also important and essential that the contributions of other units of our university and stakeholders from outside the university gain continuity. On the one hand, we will continue to follow the research activities of our Faculty of Agriculture related to fruit growing, while on the other hand, we will continue to strive to create infrastructure and organizations for the education of our students. In particular, ensuring the continuity of the contributions of the academicians of the Department of Horticulture and improving the educational opportunities of the students of the department are among our main goals.
As it is known, “Iğdır Apricot” is one of the most well-known and economically important agricultural products of Iğdır region. Our center is determined to continue and increase its work on this subject. We continue to work to carry out activities in harmony with relevant institutions and organizations on the problems and solutions of apricot cultivation. Alternative fruit growing will also be among our studies.
Son olarak; Araştırma Merkezimizin kuruluşuna vesile olan Sayın Rektörümüz Prof. Dr. Ekrem GÜREL hocamıza teşekkürlerimi sunar, başlatılan bu gayretlerin ilimize ve ülkemize hayırlı olmasını dilerim. Ayrıca desteklerini esirgemeyen Ziraat Fakültesi Dekanımız Sayın Prof. Dr. Ali Yıldız MUSAHAN hocamıza ve başta Bahçe Bitkileri Bölümü olmak üzere fakültemizin akademisyen ve idarecilerine en içten teşekkürlerimi sunarım.
Many greetings and regards.
