The work was carried out in the acclimatization stage of the Tissue Culture Plant in the Estación Territorial de Investigaciones de la Caña de Azúcar (ETICA) of Villa Clara. The following 4 treatments were studied: 1. Standard with no treatment, 2. Fitomas-E at 0.1 % immediately after transplanting, 3. Fitomas-E at 0.1 % immediately and at 15 days after transplanting and 4. Fitomas- E at 0.1 % at 15 days after transplanting. In the study it could be proven that this solution applied to the foliage of the plants in anyone of the three variants improve notably the quality parameters of them and they are ready for their commercialization at 30 days after being transplanted to the acclimatization phase, reducing their cycle in this phase in 15 days. Although the best results were obtained when the Fitomas-E at 0. 1 % was applied immediately and at 15 days after transplanting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Hybrid seeds, derived from the intraspecific crossing of two species of Spathoglottis genus (Spa. plicata and Spa. kimballiana), were germinated through in vitro culture, and finally the first terrestrial orchid hybrid was obtained in Cuba, Bella Lorena, which has pink petals with yellow borders, both of a very dark color, also dark yellow sepals with pink border and purple to red and yellow labelo with dark yellow lateral lobules and red points inwards. This new species will contribute to preserve and make the environment more beautiful; besides, it is a valuable contribution to Cuban ornamental agriculture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
