Abstract/Description: | In bio- and edapho-climatic constraints, enhanced human & livestock pressure and wide spread land degradation, Optuntia ficus-indica is viewed as a potential source of forage and fruit crop for arid and semi-arid regions of India. Since, planting of cladode in field immediately after detaching it from mother plant has not been so successful; therefore, present study was undertaken to understand the effect of moisture loss of cladode on survival and sprouting behaviour of Cactus pear (spineless cactus) in arid region. Data revealed that moisture loss of cladode influenced significantly the survival and sprouting behaviour of spineless cactus. Out of moisture loss of cladode ranging from 10-60 %, the best performance in term of sprouting, number of new cladode and growth has been observed in cladode treated with 10-20% loss of moisture. The maximum number of sprouting kids (1.66/cladode) and significantly more number/cladode was recorded at the 20 % moisture loss than other treatment. 20% reduced moisture treatment produced maximum kids (46) with cent percent sprouting pads which was at par with 10 % moisture loss, while lowest kids (15) in the 60% reduced moisture treatment with 50 percent sprouting pads. Thus cladode with 10% and 20% reduced moisture was the best treatment for planting in the field since it gave the maximum sprouting kids/pad than other treatment. |
