Orchids seedling production in vitro and its economical viability: study case.


The orchids propagation by seed in vitro is a disseminated form to multiplication of the botanical species in the Orchidaceae. The objective of this work was to evaluate the orchid seedling production through the case exemplified by the Orchid Tissue Culture Laboratory in the Botanical Institute, São Paulo, Brazil. The results show that the cost of production represented 52% of the rentability and the price of the only seedling is the R$0,65.
