	  abstract     = {This study was aimed to investigate the effect of
various organic supplements on growth and development of
Dendrobium discolor’s protocorms and seedlings growth of
Dendrobium Judy Rutz. Protocorms of Dendrobium discolor with 2.0
cm. in diameter and seedlings of Dendrobium Judy Rutz at the same
size (0.5 cm. height) were sub-cultured on Hyponex medium
supplemented with cow milk (CM), soy milk (SM), potato extract
(PE) and peptone (P) for 2 months. The protocorms were developed
to seedlings in all treatments after cultured for 2 months. However,
the best results were found on Hyponex medium supplemented with
P was the best in which the maximum fresh and dry weight and
maximum shoot height were obtained in this treatment statistically
different (p ≤ 0.05) to other treatments. Moreover, Hyponex medium
supplemented with P also stimulated the maximum mean number of
5.7 shoots per explant which also showed statistically different (p ≤
0.05) when compared to other treatments. The results of growth of
Dendrobium Judy Rutz seedlings indicated the medium
supplemented with 100 mL/L PE enhanced the maximum fresh and
dry weigh per explants with significantly different (p ≤ 0.05) in fresh
weight from other treatments including the control medium without
any organic supplementation. However, the dry weight was not
significantly different (p ≤ 0.05) from medium supplemented with
SM and P. There was multiple shoots induction in all media with or
without organic supplementation ranging from 2.6 to 3 shoots per
explants. The maximum shoot height was also obtained in the
seedlings cultured on medium supplemented with PE while the
longest root length was found in medium supplemented with SM.
