Soil moisture in forage cactus plantations with improvement practices for their resilience. The present study evaluated soil moisture (?) in forage cactus plantations under resilience practices such as irrigation, mulching and intercropping with sorghum. The experiment was arranged in a rand... ... Repository: BDPA Publication year: 2017
Combined agricultural practices in millet and cactus: phyllochron, structural characteristics and relations with yield. Variation in rainfall affects crops; therefore, agricultural practices become essential for forage production in semi-arid regions. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of different agricultural... ... Repository: BDPA Publication year: 2023
Hydrodynamic changes of the soil-cactus interface, effective actual evapotranspiration and its water efficiency under irrigation. The knowledge on soil water dynamics is the basis of crop water management. The soil water balance (SWB) method is used for this purpose. However, its application in cactus may lead to misinterpretati... ... Repository: BDPA Publication year: 2017
Cactus pear silage to mitigate the effects of an intermittent water supply for feedlot lambs: intake, digestibility, water balance and growth performance. The aim of this study was to evaluate the intake, digestibility, water balance and growth performance of lambs receiving diets containing cactus silage under an intermittent water supply. Thirty-six m... ... Repository: BDPA Publication year: 2023
Integrated management of agronomic practices in the forage cactus: maximizing productivity, biological efficiency and economic profitability. Forage cactus cropping systems that include a combination of agricultural practices (cloning, irrigation, mulching, and/or intercropping) can increase forage production and economic return in semi-ari... ...

Fermentation profile, microbial populations, taxonomic diversity and aerobic stability of total mixed ration silages based on Cactus and Gliricidia. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Cactus (Opuntia spp) levels in total mixed ration silages based on Cactus and Gliricidia (Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Steud) on the fermentation p... ... Repository: BDPA Publication year: 2020
Total phenolic content in milk from cows fed cactus (Opuntia stricta) cladodes as a partial substitute for sorghum silage in soybean oil-supplemented diets. Cactus cladodes (CC) contain numerous polyphenols (PP) with potential health benefits. We recently showed that associating CC with soybean oil (SO) in cows' diet markedly increased the cis-9, trans-11... ... Repository: BDPA Publication year: 2022
Intake, nutrient digestibility, nitrogen balance, and microbial protein synthesis in sheep fed spineless-cactus silage and fresh spineless cactus. An experiment was carried out to compare the use of fresh cactus with cactus ensiled with and without a microbial inoculant in sheep diets by examining their feed intake, nutrient digestibility, nitro... ...

Indirect methods for determining the area index of forage cactus cladodes. Methods for determining leaf area index have been applied to various agricultural crops. However, their uses are limited to broadleaf plants, with no record for forage cactus, whose radiation intercep... ... Repository: BDPA Publication year: 2015
Forage cactus combined with different silages as diets for lactating red Sindhi cows. Forage cactus (Opuntia ficus-indica Mill) is an important forage resource in the Northeast region of Brazil due to its adaptation to the edaphoclimatic conditions of the region, mainly to the drought... ...
