“…. On the other hand, Donato et al (2016) obtained, at 600 DAP, overall mean of Ca extraction of 268.33 kg ha -1 for every 10 t ha -1 of dry matter. Souza (2015), in an experiment with NPK fertilization at 620 DAP, found overall mean Ca extraction of 175.50 kg ha -1 for every 10 t ha -1 of dry matter production.…”

“…Both helped to increase the content and availability of N in the soil and, consequently, led to the incremental absorption of N by the forage cactus. Donato et al (2016) studied the effects of different doses of approximately 131.65 kg ha -1 N for every 10 t ha -1 of dry matter. Souza (2015), in an experiment with NPK fertilization at 620 days after planting, found that the mean export of N was 177.88 kg ha -1 for every 10 t ha -1 of dry matter.…”

“…The K contents were similar to those found by Santos et al (1990) . However, Donato et al (2016) studied the effects of bovine manure doses and planting densities in forage cactus cultivation and obtained, at 600 DAP, an overall mean extraction/export of 394.54 of K kg ha -1 for every 10 t ha -1 of dry matter. In another experiment, Souza (2015), found mean K exports of 246.07 kg ha -1 for every 10 t ha -1 of dry matter production in an experiment with NPK fertilization applied over 620 DAP.…”

“…The values of the present study are close to those reported by Nobel et al (1987), who found Mg contents from 6.4 to 14.2 g kg -1 with a mean value of 10.3 g kg -1 in plants of the species Opuntia engelmannii in Coahuila, Mexico. Donato et al (2016), studying bovine manure doses and spacing, obtained an overall mean Mg extraction of 121.04 kg ha -1 for every 10 t ha -1 of dry matter at 600 DAP. Souza (2015), in an experiment with NPK fertilization, found an overall mean Mg exportation of 125.75 kg ha -1 for every 10 t ha -1 of dry matter at 620 DAP.…”

“…Thus, if there is no replenishment of nutrients through fertilization, there will be a reduction in the yield and quality of the forage. Donato et al (2016), studying bovine manure doses and spacing, obtained at 600 DAP mean extraction of 6.61 kg ha -1 for every 10 t ha -1 of dry matter. Souza (2015) observed that the Mn contents of 2,006.06 and 1,761.01 mg kg -1 , resulted from NPK and NP fertilizations over 620 DAP, respectively, did not differ and exceeded the contents of the treatments without fertilization (984.41 mg kg -1 ) and when fertilized with P (665.65 mg kg -1 ).…”

The northeastern semiarid region faces some of the droughts of the last centuries, resulting in serious reductions of agriculture yields. The water scarcity for agricultural requires rational use practices and reuse of water, such as use of domestic effluent sewage. Alternatively, the use of treated domestic sewage effluent utilizing for irrigation of forage species, such as the forage cactus, can be highlighted. In order to evaluate the effects of fertirrigation with treated sewage effluent on mineral nutrient composition of forage cactus (Opuntia Tuna L. Mill, Mexican elephant ear), an experiment was carried out utilizing a split plot 3 x (4 + 1) with a randomized complete block design randomized block and four replications, being three planting density (66,667.00, 52,282.00 and 33,333.00 plants ha-1) and two water sources associated with irrigation frequency of plates fixed on 3.5 mm per irrigation (Frequencies of 2.3 days with water tap and 7, 14 and 21 days with Sewage Effluent) and cactus cultivated in Rainfed agriculturerainfed (control). The analyze of the nutritional contents of cladodes indicated that there was a significant effect of the intervals from irrigation events only for Ca and Mg concentrations. The highest levels of Ca and Mg were found with the irrigation frequency of 2.3 using tap water. The macronutrients concentration in greater quantity by the forage cactus were N e, K followed by, Ca, Mg and P. The nutritional balance indicated excess of K and P and deficiency of N, Ca and Mg, in this order.

Agronomic characteristics and nutritional value of cactus pear progenies

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Cactus is an important fodder in tropical semiarid, but recent insect pressure has devastated cactus crops. Breeding programs are developing cactus varieties resistant to cochineal scale (Dactylopius opuntiae Cockerell). The cactus V‐19 (Opuntia larreyi F.A.C. Weber ex J. M. Coult.) has demonstrated resistance to cochineal scale, however, no breeding effort has been attempted with this species. This study characterized the resistance of cactus V‐19 progenies to cochineal scale. Morphological, productive, and nutritive value variables were evaluated in 11 genotypes of cactus V‐19, in which 10 (named as P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6, P7, P8, P9, and P10) were progenies resulted from open pollination. Two evaluations were carried out from 2015 to 2017, corresponding to first and second harvest years. A randomized complete design with seven replications were used. There was a harvest (year) × progeny interaction (p < .05) across the estimated parameters. In 2017, there was a stronger correlation between morphological traits and productive responses because cactus had faster growth and greater number of cladodes, while in 2015 progenies had greater nutritive value. Progeny P1 improved performance compared with the progenitor and other progenies regarding dry matter (DM) accumulation, in vitro digestible DM, and crude protein with 13.7 Mg DM ha–1 year–1, 848 g kg–1, and 47 g kg–1, respectively. The principal component analysis (PCA) and dendrogram obtained by hierarchical clustering method confirmed that progeny P1 outperformed the other progenies, including the mother plant V‐19. These progenies must be further evaluated to assess their productive responses under different management practices.

Reference values for nutritional diagnosis of ‘Gigante’ cactus pear by DRIS and BIK methods

et al. 2021

The equilibrium and nutritional balance of plants are known to be of utmost importance to evaluate their yield potential and to comprehend the dynamics of nutrients in the soil-plant system. Hence, the present study determined the reference values for evaluating the nutritional status of ‘Gigante’ cactus pear cultivated with organic fertilization in semiarid conditions by Diagnosis and Recommendation Integrated System (DRIS) and Balanced Indexes of Kenworthy (BIK) methods. The cladodes nutrients contents and dry matter yield of 72 plots were employed. The database was classified into a high-yield and low-yield population, above and below 19.93 Mg ha-1 cycle-1, respectively. The five ranges of nutrient contents in cladodes were defined based on the standard deviation range(s) of the DRIS indexes of the high-yield population. Furthermore, the fixed BIK values made it possible to ascertain the lower and the upper limit of the reference values of nutrient contents in the cladodes. The reference values for all nutrients determined by the DRIS and BIK methods varied from each other and those reported in the literature. These methods were efficient in identifying the limiting nutrients for ‘Gigante’ cactus pear, with differences in the hierarchical order of limitation, due to lack or excess, and nutrients not limiting to productivity.
