| description | In arid conditions, the low quality of the forage and water shortage could be attenuated
by the introduction of Opuntia species. Several plant species grows well under Prosopis
canopy, responding to a higher nutrient content in the soil, It was hypothesized that
productivity and nutrient content, mainly crude protein (CP), of Opuntia ellisiana planted
under Prosopis would be higher than of those planted outside the canopy, and that these
parameters would be influenced by the cactus position: north or south from the centre
of the tree. Sampling was done in 18 plants under the canopy of Prosopis and 23 outside
of it. After one year of the plantation, the totality of cladodes was harvested. The productivity
per plant was 3.1 and 5.7 cladodes and 34.9 and 48.1 g of dry matter (DM), outside
and under the canopy, respectively. The bromatological values (%) were moisture: 89.1
and 91.9, organic matter (OM): 76.7 and 79.8, CP: 4.4 and 8.1, acid detergent fiber (ADF):
13.7 and 18.2, neutral detergent fiber (NDF): 29.0 and 31.5, K: 3.1 and 3.6, P: 0.07 and
0.11, Ca: 5.5 and 4.4, Na: 0.04 and 0.02, outside and under the canopy, respectively. Crude
protein, moisture, OM, ADF, NDF, K, P and productivity per plant were higher under the
canopy, whereas Ca and Na values were higher outside the canopy (p<0.05). Magnesium
(1.9 and 1.9%) was not affected by the position outside or under the canopy. The north
or south orientation did not influence any of the analysed parameters. |

En condiciones de aridez, la baja calidad del forraje y la escasez de agua podrían ser atenuadas con la introducción de especies de Opuntia. Varias especies tienen buen crecimiento bajo la canopia de Prosopis spp., respondiendo a un contenido más alto de nutrientes en el suelo. Se hipotetizó que la productividad y el contenido de nutrientes, principalmente proteína cruda (PC), de Opuntia ellisiana establecidas bajo la canopia de Prosopis serían más altos que los implantados fuera de la misma y que estos parámetros serían influenciados por la posición del cactus: norte o sur respecto del centro del árbol. Se muestrearon 18 plantas de cactus bajo la canopia y otras fuera de la misma. Después de un año de crecimiento, se cosechó la totalidad de los cladodios. La productividad por planta fue 3,1 y 5,7 cladodios y 34,9 y 48,1 g de materia seca (MS), fuera y bajo la canopia, respectivamente. Los valores bromatológicos (%) fueron humedad: 89,1 y 91,9, materia orgánica (MO): 76,7 y 79,8, PC: 4,4 y 8,1, fibra detergente ácida (FDA): 13,7 y 18,2, fibra detergente neutra (FDN): 29,0 y 31,5, K: 3,1 y 3,6, P: 0,07 y 0,11, Ca: 5,5 y 4,4, Na: 0,04 y 0,02, bajo y fuera de la canopia, respectivamente. Proteína cruda, humedad, MO, FDA, FDN, K, P y productividad por planta fueron más altas bajo la canopia, mientras que los valores de Ca y Na fueron más altos fuera de la canopia (p<0.05). Magnesio (1,9 y 1,9%) no fue afectado por la posición bajo y fuera de la canopia, respectivamente. La orientación norte o sur no influenció los parámetros analizados. Fil: Grünwaldt, Josefina María.
