Evaluación de la adaptación y crecimiento de orquídeas endémicas del Pacífico colombiano en dos tipos de sustrato

Abstract

This article evaluates the adaptation and growth of two endemic orchid genotypes from the Colombian Pacific in both an artisanal and a local substrate, developed by the Buenaventura Nautical Fishing Center and the Community Council of Black Communities of the Upper and Middle Dagua River basins. The goal is to standardize a production method for native orchids, specifically the species Phragmipedium longifolium, using local inputs in the Buenaventura District. The aim is to generate a source of family income for rural communities through the commercialization of a local resource under appropriate technical conditions and quality standards, while simultaneously providing a tool for the conservation and protection of native flora species.
