Abstract

For three consecutive year mature cactus pear plants were shaded at different times of the year, in order to determine the time of flower induction.
Flower induction was almost completely inhibited only when shading was made in October-November; in the following months some inductive activity is apparent, with minimal fluctuations among years.
