Abstract:
Dendrobium officinale Kimura et Migo (DO), one of the valuable and scarce medicinal orchids, in nature. Applying technical measures to regulating growth, increasing artificial plant biomass and conserving this herb is necessary. This research was conducted to evaluate the effect of shade treatments (30, 50, 70, and 90%) and light color (white, purple, blue, and red) on growth and biomass of the DO under greenhouse conditions in Thai Nguyen province, Vietnam. The results revealed that shading 50% and 70% significantly influenced on growth and biomass. Using red light is the best for growth, biomass, and increasing contents of polysaccharide and alkaloid. These results should be recommented in production technology of the DO.
