Prickly Pear Cactus - Evaluating the Biomass Productivity

Research at the University of Nevada, Reno is investigating prickly pear cactus as an alternative crop for semi-arid regions like what is found in Great Basin. These plants are found to be a highly water-use efficient and produce relative large amount of biomass that can be used as food, fodder or a renewable, biological material that can be used directly as a fuel, or converted to another form of fuel or energy product.
