“…Forage cactos as Opuntia and Nopalea are a perennial crop, developed in several semiarid regions [1]. During periods of drought, it is used as forage in countries such as United States, Mexico, South Africa, Australia, Tunisia, Egypt, and Brazil [1][2][3][4]. In Brazil, It was introduced in 1880 and it is considered the main source of feed for herds, mainly in the semiarid region [1,5,6].…”

Forage cactus is a perennial crop, which has been widely exploited for feeding ruminants in the semiarid region of different countries around the world. The main objective of this chapter is to describe the use and importance of spineless cactus as forage, desertification mitigation, source of water for animals and a source of income for producers in semiarid regions. The main species explored in Brazil are Opuntia spp. and Nopalea spp., due to characteristics such as resistance to pests, productivity, water-use efficiency and demand for soil fertility. The productivity of the species in a region will depend on its morphological characteristics, plant spacing, planting systems and its capacity to adapt to climatic and soil conditions. In other parts of the world, cactus species are the most cosmopolitan and destructive among invasive plants. However, the use of spineless forage cactus in areas where it can develop normally and may become the basis for ruminants’ feed would increase the support capacity production systems. Thus, specifically for Brazil’s semiarid region these species can make the difference as forage for animal feeding, cultivated as monoculture or intercropped, for soil conservation and desertification mitigation, source of water for animals, preservation of the Caatinga biome and be a potential source of income for producers if cultivated as vegetable for nutritional properties and medicinal derivative of fruits and cladodes for exports.

“…Haw, forragem, suplementação hídrica. Pereira et al spineless cactus, such as very low rainfall and thermal amplitude (BEZERRA et al, 2015;LUCENA et al, 2016;SoUZA et al, 2018). In recent years, in several locations of Brazilian semi-arid, such as the Submedio of São Francisco, rainfall were very low and despite the high efficiency in the use of water, this low rainfall associated with high temperatures may reduce the forage yield and the longevity of spineless cactus production area.…”

Forage yield, structural responses and chemical composition of spineless cactus Orelha de Elefante Mexicana in different water depths and irrigation frequencies

et al. 2021

The objective was to evaluate the effects of water depths and irrigation frequencies on structural responses, forage yield and chemical composition of spineless cactus Orelha de Elefante Mexicana (OEM) (Opuntia stricta (Haw.) Haw), in adensed crop system. The experimental design was randomized blocks, in subdivided plots (3x4) with 4 replicates. The water depths were (100%, 75%, 50%, and 25% of ETc - crop evapotranspiration) and three water application frequencies (7; 14 and 28 days between irrigations). There was interaction for water use efficiency (WUE) and plant dry mass. Increasing water depths reduced WUE for all irrigation frequencies and plant dry mass was lower for 7 days compared to 14 and 28 days in 25% ETc. Greater water depths increased linearly the plant height and plant width. First and second order cladode length, second order cladode dry mass (kg), fresh mass yield (FMY) (kg ha-1) and dry mass yield (DMY) (kg ha-1) had a quadratic response with the increase in water depth. The FMY and DMY increased up to 77% and 75% ETc, respectively. Irrigation frequency (28 days) promoted greater first order cladode length and cladode dry mass compared to 7 days. Cladode thickness in plant and basal cladode thickness were greater for 7 days compared to 28 days and 14 and 28 days, respectively, without influence on FMY and DMY. Irrigation frequencies from 7 to 28 days promotes similar forage production and water depths up to 77% ETc favors the forage yield for spineless cactus Orelha de Elefante Mexicana receiving supplemental irrigation.

“…Entre os mecanismos adaptativos da palma forrageira para a produção em ambientes com pouca disponibilidade de água, destaca-se seu metabolismo, que é do tipo CAM (Metabolismo Ácido das Crassuláceas), no qual a planta fecha seus os estômatos durante o dia para reduzir as perdas de água por transpiração e com isso garantir a hidratação dos tecidos e o melhor aproveitamento de água (Souza et al, 2018).…”

Caracterização biométrica de cladódios de Opuntia stricta submetida a lâminas de irrigação e adubação orgânica no Semiárido paraibano

Objetivou-se com esse trabalho avaliar lâminas de irrigação e fontes de adubação orgânica sobre as características biométricas de cladódios da palma forrageira Variedade Orelha de Elefante Mexicana (Opuntia stricta [Haw.] Haw.). O experimento foi conduzido na Fazenda Riachão, município de Boa Vista, Paraíba, durante o período de outubro de 2017 a janeiro de 2018. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos ao acaso, constituído de um fatorial 3 x 6 x 3 (tipos de adubação; lâminas; época) para o número de cladódios por planta e 3 x 6 (tipos de adubação; lâminas) para as demais variáveis analisadas. Utilizaram-se seis lâminas de irrigação (0; 1,5; 2,5; 3,5; 4,5 e 5,5 L) e três tipos de adubação (sem adição de esterco; esterco bovino e esterco caprino). Cada tratamento teve cinco repetições e cada parcela foi composta por trinta e seis plantas. Foram contabilizadas as emissões, o perímetro, largura, comprimento, espessura e peso médio dos cladódios. Observou-se efeito da lâmina de irrigação sob todos os parâmetros analisados a 1% de probabilidade pelo Teste F. Encontrou-se interação lâmina e adubos a 1% para a largura e peso médio dos cladódios e a 5% para o número de cladódios. Para essa última variável, também se registrou interação lâmina e época a 1% de probabilidade. A lâmina de 5,5 L/semana foi a que propiciou os melhores resultados para a maioria dos parâmetros, sendo recomendada sua utilização em conjunto com o esterco caprino.
