Growth and yield performance of seven accessions
viz.,1269,1270, 1271, CAZRI Botanical Garden, Mount
Abu, 1458 and AHCP-2 of prickly pear cactus (Opuntia
ficus-indica (L.) Mill) was studied during 2013-14 at
CAZRI, RRS, Bikanerwith the aim to find out most suitable
accession for this region After 270 days study period, it
was found that the accession CAZRI Botanical Garden
produced maximum number of cladodes per plant (14.4)
followed by the accession 1458 (5.4), 1270 (5.0) and
1271 (4.2). The number of cladodes was minimum in
accession AHCP-2 (2.4). Regarding cladode length, the
accession 1271 produced the longest (24.2 cm),
whereas, it was lowest (12.6 cm) in AHCP-2. The
accessions CAZRI Botanical Garden, 1270, 1458 and
1271 were higher yielder as compared to others. Highest
green cladodes production (1260.7 g plant-1) was
recorded in the accession CAZRI botanical garden
followed by accession 1270 > accession 1458 >
accession 1271, while the accession AHCP-2 produced
lowest biomass (163.8 g plant-1).
