Priority Cactus - Boxing Glove InFarm have started to collect aerial images of Harrisia cactus in the north- Cacti Resources west area of the region to train the AI program. However, the more images Events the AI has, the more accurate the detection rate is of Harrisia cactus out in the paddock. Networks Weed Officer contacts When? Further Information The AI has been trained during the drought and was able to detect Harrisia cactus (see image at right). However, the AI needs more data to ensure it is reliable in all conditions, including after rain when it is lush and green. Why? The aim of AI platform is to detect Harrisia cactus in areas that people are unable to get to or in areas that people may have thought it may not be. It also allows us to determine the area of infestation and density creating a map of distribution. How? Fortunately, now we have areas of lush feed and healthy grasslands, InFarm are seeking your help. The next step is to ensure the AI can detect Harrisia cactus in lush green pasture. -
Introducing and Growing Some Fruiting Columnar Cacti in a New Arid Environment
Journal of Fruit and Ornamental Plant Research Vol. 12, 2004: 127•136 INTRODUCING AND GROWING SOME FRUITING COLUMNAR CACTI IN A NEW ARID ENVIRONMENT Ahmed A. ElObeidy Department of Fruit Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture Cairo University, Giza, EGYPT e•mail: [email protected] (Received January 23, 2004/Accepted August 11, 2004) ABSTRACT One of the most important ways of coping with increasingly frequent water shortages is improving the efficiency of water use. Planting drought•resistant crops is a promising way of reducing the demand for water. Columnar cacti are especially drought•tolerant and highly productive even though they consume very little water. In the United Arab Emirates, seven columnar fruiting cacti were evaluated in terms of their capacity for vegetative growth in a new arid environment. The cacti evaluated were: Carnegiea gigantea, Myrtillocactus geometrizans, Pachycereus pecten• aboriginum, P. pringlii, Stenocereus griseus, S. stellatus and S. thurberi. Plants were propagated from cuttings in a greenhouse. Roots developed within two to four weeks of planting. The plants were acclimatized and transplanted in an orchard in the desert. Although the cacti varied widely in terms of growth, most of them are promising species for cultivation in desert environments. Keywords: arid environment, cactus, fruits, new crops, water use efficiency INTRODUCTION major step in coping with imminent water shortages is the formulation and One•third of the world's popu• implementation of a comprehensive lation faces water shortages, and this water management plan that reduces is expected to rise to two•thirds by the the imbalance between supply and year 2025 (U.N. Report, 2000). -
