Abstract

The present work was carried out with the
objective of evaluating the effect of foliar sprayings of two
national substances, PECTIMORF and BIOBRAS-16, on two

direct foliar spraying was applied to the plant in the morning
(10:00 am), at the same concentrations, 0.5 mg.L-1 PECTIMORF
and 0.05 mg.L-1 BIOBRAS-16, besides the control (foliar
spraying with water) at 30 and 60 days, up to a total of 24 and
12 foliar sprayings for two years respectively. At the end of
the experiment, the total number of pseudobulbs and roots
was evaluated, also considering plant color, flowering time
and its characteristics. There was a significant increase of the
