Resumo

New fruits have been gaining consumers and attracting the attention of farmers as income alternatives. This is the case of the pitaya, fruit originating in tropical America with great potential for adaptation to diverse soil and climatic conditions with several benefits to the health of his consumers. The objective of this bibliographical review is to present results of doctoral theses and dissertations on pitaya’s ecological base crop, covering aspects of propagation, orchard installation, until harvest and post-harvest. In addition, considerations were draw up about the potential of cultivation for family farming, as an alternative of productive and economic diversification of rural properties.
