摘要：

The genus Opuntia Miller includes a number of species which produce nutritious fruits and edible young joints used as vegetables. They are also used as forage crops. The fruits and joints are a popular food in Central/North America. They produce strong and vigorous plants in arid and semi-arid climates in which few other crops can survive. They protect against soil erosion, inhibit desert advancement and protect wild life. Their water-use efficiency make the Opuntia more efficient in converting water into dry matter than most grasses. Some species produce 26 t.ha(-1).year(-1). (C) 1996 Academic Press Limited
