Technoguide for Propagation of Cymbidiums through Backbulbs

Abstract

The backbulbs of Cymbidiums are usually left over during re-potting of outgrown plants. These backbulbs are either thrown or planted in potting compost. The planting of backbulbs in this way gives out usually one or none plant from the backbulbs. The modifications in existing protocol were made where the backbulbs can be reused in the process of plantlet production. The "Technoguide for Propagation of Cymbidiums through Backbulbs" contains stepwise instructions on the production of plantlets and their utilisation for the production of cut-flowers or potted flowering plants.
