The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse from September 2001 to January 2002 to select several prickly-pear varieties resistant to cochineal carmine. Twenty pricky-pear varieties were evaluated as a completely randomized experimental design with four replicates. The plants were artificially infested. The infestation level was evaluated by a 0 – 5 scale. The most resistants clone are “Miúda” and “Orelha de Elefante”.
