“…These rain roots die quickly (within a period of several days) and are incorporated into the process of decomposition of organic matter in the soil. In a semi-arid region of Brazil, (Dubeux-Junior et al 2013) found that Opuntia-ficus indica produced 136 g of roots per plant at a density of 20,000 plants ha −1 , a density very similar to that of the current study. Considering an approximate proportion of 0.4 C in root biomass (De León et al 2006), an estimate value of C provided by cactus crop plants to the soil would be 1 t ha −1 (on dry basis) with the plant density cited previously.…”

“…These values are higher than those reported by Nabil et al [ 34 ] for the cladode powder and fall in the same range as the brix values of the fruit [ 35 ]. These values represent considerable amounts of complex sugars that contribute to the total soluble solids (TSS) of the roots, which enhance the quality of the soil with organic matter [ 36 ].…”

“…The sub-plots (8 × 5.4 m) were constituted by distinct levels of inorganic N fertilizer (0, 120, 240, and 360 kg N ha −1 year −1 ), and the sub-subplots (5.4 × 4 m) were distinguished by OEM harvesting frequency (annual or biennial), with four blocks (Figure 1). These levels are suitable for nutrient removal by dense cactus cultivation in the Pernambuco semiarid region, as well as the manure decomposition rate [25].…”
