Biomass production potential of 14 accessions of cactus pear (Opuntia spp.) as a food, feed, and biofuel crop for arid lands. Increased food, feed, and biofuel demands of the future will require a greater reliance upon crop production systems in arid and semi-arid regions around the world. Here, we evaluated the biomass productivity of 14 Opuntia spp. accessions under semi-arid conditions to identify high-yielding biomass producers. Neupane, D., Niechayev, N. A., Petrusa, L.
