Vanda is an aerial tropical orchid native to Thailand and nitrogen (N) fertilizer is mainly used to promote its growth and quality. However, little is known about the characteristics of N absorption and assimilation in Vanda. The objective of this study was to determine the appropriate source of N for Vanda cultivation. In this experiment, shoots and roots of Vanda 'Ratchaburi Fuchs-Katsura' were sprayed weekly with 100 ml of 15N tracer solution (1) 10 mM of 15NO3 −, (2) 5 mM of 15NO3 − plus 5 mM of NH4 +, (3) 5 mM of NO3 − plus 5 mM of 15NH4 + and (4) 10 mM of 15NH4 +. The results indicated that plants fed with a combined N fertilizer gave the highest of 15N use efciency (15NUE) of about 21.8%, 30 days after the frst feeding (DAF), compared with those fed sole sources of 15NO3 − (21.0%) and 15NH4 + (16.6%). However, a sole nitrate fertilizer or combination fertilizer did not signifcantly afect the total N and labelled N content. Alanine was a major amino acid found in leaves and roots at 7 DAF, whereas glutamine was mainly found in stems. At 30 DAF, tyrosine and alanine became major components in the leaves, and glutamine decreased in stems when plants were fed with a single 15NH4 +source.
