Growth of cactus pear cv. Miúda under different salinity levels and irrigation frequencies

Abstract: Soil and water salinity are considered the main limiting factors of plant production. This work aimed to evaluate the influences of irrigation frequency and soil salinity on the development of cactus pear cv. Miúda (Nopalea cochenillifera Salm Dyck). The experiment was conducted in factorial arrangement of four salinity levels: 0.3 (control), 0.5 (low), 1.5 (medium) and 3.6 (high salinity) (ds m-1), associated with four irrigation frequencies (each 7, 14, 21 and 28 days) and two soil textures (sandy and sandy … Show more

“…Similar results were observed by Gajender et al (2014) when they verified that the salinity in the irrigation water negatively affects the morphometric characteristics of Opuntia fícus-indica. Salazar and Véliz (2007) verified that the increase in the level of salinity reduces the volume of cladodes of the O. ficus-indica, and consequently reduces their linear dimensions (length, width and thickness).…”

“…Cladode area, plant height, cladode length and width showed quadratic behavior as a function of water and saline level as well as interaction between stresses (Table 3 and Figures 3 to 6, respectively). Freire et al (2018) verified quadratic behavior for the Little Sweet clone (N. cochenillifera) cladode width, maximizing their width (5.37 cm) with an optimum salinity level of 2.57 dS/m with an accuracy of 54.05%. In the present study, the cladode width maximized by 10.55 cm when used 4.44 dS/m and with accuracy of 95.2%.…”

“…Essa região também é uma importante bacia leiteira do estado de Pernambuco (Farias et al, 2000), tendo a palma (Opuntia ficus-indica; Nopalea cochenillifera) como uma das principais culturas forrageiras cultivadas na região (Menezes et al, 2005;Freire et al, 2018).…”

“…As cactáceas destacam-se na produção de frutos para consumo humano e como alternativa forrageira em regiões semiáridas, sendo amplamente utilizadas na alimentação de ruminantes, devido ao seu alto potencial de produção de fitomassa, alto valor energético, riqueza de carboidratos não fibrosos, alta aceitabilidade, alto coeficiente de digestibilidade, grande reserva de água e fácil propagação (Freire et al, 2018;Pereira, Leite, Cavalcante, & Lucena, 2018;Knupp et al, 2019).…”
