Several cultivars of Opuntia ficus-indica (cactus pear) are used in northwestern Argentina as a
source of forage, fruits, and vegetables and for medicinal purposes (Ochoa et al., 1992). Cactus
pear cultivation is important in subsistence agriculture in many countries and is an alternative
succulent crop that is able to reduce the consequences of droughts (Pimienta-Barrios, 1993)
