The adaptation capacity of forage cactus (Opuntia ficus-indica Mill) plants to edaphoclimatic conditions and plant responses to changes in management systems contribute to increase the use of this species in agriculture and the exploration of its productive potential in semi-arid regions. The objective of this work was to evaluate the structural characteristics and cladode yield of forage cactus plants grown under different agroecosystems in the semi-arid region of Bahia, Brazil. Structural characteristics of plants and soils attributes were analyzed. The traditional information on the crop management and its correlations with cladode yield were used to identify the best yield indexes, considering the peculiarities of each agroecosystem. Plant height, cladode thickness, and number of cladodes of the forage cactus plants evaluated were less affected by the agroecosystem than by the production systems. Cladode width, length, and area were more affected by the agroecosystems. The forage cactus crop yields, expressed by the annual cladode fresh matter yield, were positively correlated with the plant structural characteristics: plant height and thickness, and cladode width and length. The cladode weight per plant and fresh matter yield per area were the yield components most affected by the management system adopted by traditional producers.

“…Os cortes com a manutenção dos cladódios primário e/ou secundários proporcionam maiores produtividades e eficiência do uso da água que os cortes preservando apenas o cladódio basal (Pereira et al, 2020). Além destes, fatores como a adubação, espaçamento entre plantas (Lédo et al, 2019;Vazquez Mendoza et al, 2019), salinidade da água de irrigação (Fonseca et al, 2019), também são citados como condicionantes do desenvolvimento da palma forrageira.…”

Livestock farming is a fundamental economic activity for the semi-arid region, but it is directly influenced by factors such as soil characteristics, forage quality and rainfall seasonality. The irregularity of these factors reduces productivity levels, making them dependent on climatic conditions. In this sense, the knowledge of the main causes that reduce productivity and the adoption of resilient agricultural practices are essential in reducing the seasonal effects of the climate, increasing the supply of forage in the period of water scarcity. The use of adapted forage crops and with productive potential constitutes an efficient agricultural resilience practice, among which stands out the forage cactus, sorghum, millet, pigeon pea and sunflower. These are constituted with a high capacity for water conversion into dry matter, nutritional complementation and increased production. In addition, the implementation of practices (e.g. intercropping, irrigation, densification, mulch, etc.) contribute to the optimization of natural resources and provide better results in the continuous subsidy of forage production. With this, the present study aimed to present the environmental characteristics of the Brazilian semiarid region, to expose concepts about the levels of productivity and the main factors of the production gaps, in addition to disseminating mitigation strategies of forage production. After compiling this information, it highlights the importance of adapted forage crops and the adoption of agricultural management practices as strategies to mitigate the seasonal effects of the climate, contributing to the continuous subsidy of forage production. At the same time, the Yield Gap analysis allows for a broader knowledge of the limiting factors of production, directing agricultural planning more efficiently.

“…A média geral do teor de proteína bruta dos palmais nos agroecossistemas estudados foi de 70,2 g kg -1 (Tabela 9). A palma é considerada uma forrageira com baixo teor de PB, em média, 51,0 g kg -1 (Cavalcante et al, 2014), mas seus teores podem alcançar até 120 g kg -1 , a partir da adubação e tratos culturais que promovam a disponibilização de nutrientes, principalmente o nitrogênio (Silva et al, 2013;Lédo et al, 2019).…”

A produtividade e a qualidade nutricional da palma forrageira são afetadas pelas inter-relações entre as características edafoclimáticas do ambiente de cultivo, com as práticas de manejo e o potencial genético da planta. Ao articular a caracterização dos solos dos agroecossistemas, o detalhamento dos sistemas de produção de palma forrageira, mais o levantamento dos atributos estruturais e rendimento das plantas, com a qualidade do cladódio para uso como forragem, espera-se estabelecer a melhor relação planta-ambiente-homem. Assim, é possível identificar e/ou desenvolver tecnologias viáveis e apropriadas para a otimização da produção da palma forrageira em quantidade e qualidade, com práticas condizentes às especificidades locais. Objetivou-se com o presente trabalho realizar a caracterização dos sistemas tradicionais de produção de palma forrageira e inter-relacioná-la com os rendimentos das plantas e composição mineral e bromatológica dos cladódios em cinco agroecossistemas do semiárido baiano. Constatou-se que as características dos agroecossistemas afetaram mais o comprimento e largura dos cladódios, a matéria orgânica e o material mineral na planta. Os sistemas de produção estabelecidos afetaram, maiormente, a produção de massa de cladódios por planta, a produtividade de massa verde, a área total de cladódios, o número de cladódios produzidos por planta, teores de matéria seca, teores de nitrogênio, proteína bruta e fibra em detergente neutro. Os componentes mais afetados pelo efeito da planta (genótipo) foram os teores de gordura ou extrato etéreo na planta, a capacidade de produção de massa por cladódio e os teores de fibra em detergente neutro nos tecidos dos cladódios. Espera-se disponibilizar as informações geradas de forma mais acessível e possível de serem incorporadas aos sistemas de produção de palma forrageira na perspectiva de torná-los mais sustentáveis.Palavras-chave: Opuntia, ambiente, conhecimento local, qualidade da forragem, rendimento, manejo. Traditional systems of ‘Gigante’ cactus pear production in agroecosystems of Bahia semi-arid region A B S T R A C TThe productivity and nutritional quality of the cactus pear are affected by the interrelationships between the edaphoclimatic characteristics of the cultivation environment, with the management practices and the genetic potential of the plant. By articulating the characterization of agroecosystem soils, detailing the production systems of cactus pear, plus the survey of structural attributes and plant yield, with the quality of the cladodes for use as forage, it is expected to establish the best plant-environment-man relationship. Thus, it is possible to identify and / or develop viable and appropriate technologies to optimize the production of cactus pear in quantity and quality, with practices consistent with local specificities. The objective of the present work was to characterize the traditional systems of production of cactus pear and to interrelate it with plant yields and mineral and chemical composition of the cladodes in five agroecosystems in the semi-arid region of Bahia, Brazil. It was found that the characteristics of agroecosystems most affected the length and width of the cladodes, the organic matter and the mineral material in the plant. The established production systems most affected the mass production of cladodes per plant, the productivity of green mass, the total area of cladodes, the number of cladodes produced per plant, dry matter content, nitrogen content, crude protein and fiber in neutral detergent. The components most affected by the effect of the plant (genotype) were the levels of fat or ether extract in the plant, the capacity for mass production by cladode and the levels of neutral detergent fiber in the tissues of the cladodes. It is hoped that the information generated will be made available in a more accessible and possible way to be incorporated into their cactus pear production systems with a view to making them more sustainable.Key words – Opuntia, environment, local knowledge, forage quality, yield, management.
