    Abstract
    Rootplowing and rootplowing combined with rootraking increased the density of pricklypear stands but decreased the density of other undesirable woody species. Chaining resulted in extremely dense stands of pricklypear. Dragging caused a great reduction in the density of the pricklypear but had only limited effects on other woody species. Dragging, followed by rootplowing appeared to decrease the density of all undesirable woody species. This dual operation resulted in the establishment of a relatively brush-free grassland, which with management and periodic maintenance, can produce a large quantity of desirable herbaceous forage on a sustained basis./El estudio se llevó a cabo en los planos del Río Bravo al sur de Texas. Se observó que tanto el desenraice con arado solo como el desenraice con arado combinado con rastreo aumentaron la densidad del nopal y disminuyeron la densidad de malezas arbustivas. El uso de cadenas resultó en nopaleras muy densas pero solo retardó el crecimiento de otras malezas arbustivas. En cada uno de estos métodos hubo una tendencia a cambiar de un tipo de vegetación dominante con arbustos a otro tipo con nopaleras densas. Una serie de rastreos (con barandillas) causó una reducción significativa en la densidad del nopal, pero el único efecto sobre las malezas arbustivas fue una reducción de crecimiento. Sin embargo, este método seguido de un desenraice con arado dio lugar a una disminución de la densidad de todas las malezas arbustivas incluyendo el nopal. Este método combinado dio lugar al establecimiento de un pastizal de zacates con pocas especies malas el cual con un manejo adecuado y un control periódico de mantenimiento de las especies indeseables que van a reinvadir puede producir una gran cantidad de forraje deseable proveniente de herbáceas sobre una base de mantenimiento.
