Abstract: Needs of homogeneous and high quality juvenile plants of henequen for reposition and development of new cultivated areas with low costs and in a short period of time is only possible using biotechnologies. Features required in basal shoots of donor plants, expiant source and explants, dessinfection schemes, nutritive media and hormonal balances needed for shoot initiation and subsequent in vitro phases, light requirements, culture vessels and substrate composition were evaluated at a previously developed laboratory scale in order to obtain vigorous vitroplants with the required length for nursery culture. The best results were used to elaborate, execute and prove the factibility of the technological proposal for a large scale production of henequen vitroplants in Cuba. The vality of the proposal is demonstrated in addition to the advantages of its application. Results are discussed.
