The aim of this study was to evaluate morphophysiological indices, phenology and cutting time forage cactus (Opuntia Nopalea spp.) clones intercropped with sorghum cultivars (Sorghum bicolor). experiment carried out from 2017 2018, in two cropping systems (monocropping intercropping), comprising 12 treatments, consisted three clones: ‘IPA Sertânia’—IPA, ‘Miúda’—Miu ‘Orelha de Elefante Mexicana’...

The forage palm is widely cultivated in semiarid regions. It has a basic chromosome number of x = 11 and polyploids are the main variation. propagated via vegetative reproduction, sexual propagation rarely used. objective was to associate physiological quality seeds different cultivars with level ploidy genera Opuntia Nopalea. used were: diploids (2n 22) ‘F8’, ‘F21’, ‘IPA Sertânia’; tetraploids...

ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the effects of partial replacement (750g/kg) Tifton hay by two cactus cladodes (Nopalea or Opuntia) on metabolic profile lambs. Thirty-six uncastrated male Santa Inês lambs (22.0 ± 2.9kg initial body weight) were distributed in a completely randomized design, with three treatments and 12 repetitions. The animals fed control diet (Tifton as exclusive roughag...
