• Resumen

  • The loss of biological diversity in the Southern Part of the Lago de Maracaibo, Venezuela, due to cattle rising, has caused the extinction of 97 % of the original the Zingiberales order for purpose of study and conservation, because of the importance of this subject in the tropical floriculture (cut flowers, foliage and landscaping). The use of the biological diversity and the new native species flora could promote the efficient and sustainable use of the natural resources of the Southern Part of the Lago de Maracaibo. For that reason, it was collected 18 samples among varieties and species which passed the nursery stage, and then they were transplanted in the field after three months, besides, it was accounted the humidity and light conditions they had in their natural ecosystem; as a result plants showed favorable adaptability indicators.
