Nopal (Opuntia indica) Tissue Culture

At Castamay Reforesta, we have transcended traditional propagation. We use cutting-edge biotechnology in our micropropagation laboratory to produce nopal (Opuntia) plantlets of a quality unattainable by conventional methods.

 

The problem with starting a project with common cactus pads? Uncertainty. You risk introducing diseases, having uneven growth, and getting an unpredictable yield that puts your investment at risk.

Our solution is genetic certainty. We deliver perfect clones from selected mother plants, guaranteeing health, uniformity, and maximum yield potential from day one.

1. Spineless Fodder Nopal (Opuntia ficus-indica): The Revolution for Livestock Farming 🥑

Imagine a fodder bank that withstands the harshest droughts and feeds your livestock without the need to burn a single spine. Stop imagining.

We produce elite fodder nopal plantlets, selected for their rapid growth, high biomass production, and complete absence of spines. Each plant is a vigorous clone, ready to transform arid lands into a secure and nutritious source of food and water for your livestock. It is the smartest investment to shield your livestock operation against climatic uncertainty.

Ideal for:

  • Livestock farmers looking to reduce costs and secure year-round feed.

  • Establishing strategic fodder banks.

  • Sustainable and regenerative livestock projects.

2. Export-Quality Prickly Pear Nopal (Opuntia ficus-indica var. 'Roja Pelona'): Premium Quality From the Start 🍓

The export market does not forgive inconsistencies. To compete in the major leagues, you need fruit of uniform size, color, and quality. That begins with a genetically superior and disease-free plant.

Our prickly pear nopal plantlets offer you that competitive advantage. We propagate clones of high-demand varieties, such as 'Roja Pelona', guaranteeing plants that are 100% virus-free and have a genetic uniformity that translates into homogeneous harvests. Simplify your packing process, meet the strictest international standards, and access the best market prices.

Ideal for:

  • Agribusinesses and producers focused on exportation.

  • Establishing new high-yield commercial orchards.

  • Investors seeking a high-profitability, premium agricultural product.


 

3. Nopal for Reforestation (Opuntia streptacantha & robusta): Resilience to Restore Ecosystems 🌎

When the goal is to restore the land, there is no room for error. Castamay Reforesta lives up to its name by providing the most resilient, native Mexican nopal species, ideal for the most challenging environmental projects.

We mass-produce plantlets of Nopal Cardón (O. streptacantha) and Nopal Tapón (O. robusta), the titans of the semi-desert. These species are key for the recovery of eroded soils, the fight against desertification, and the creation of habitats, offering a far superior field survival rate. They are the perfect tool for reforestation, environmental compensation, and carbon capture projects.

Ideal for:

  • Ecological restoration and reforestation projects.

  • Companies with Social and Environmental Responsibility programs.

  • Mitigating environmental impact in industries such as mining.
