Zusammenfassung:Abstract In the last decade, passion fruit cultivation has regained special importance expressed in the increase of the planting area in order to supply growing markets. This study systematizes research and production experiences gathered in more than three decades of technical work in the central region of Colombia, at locations of Valle del Cauca, Cauca, Huila, Tólima, Quindio and Risaralda. Extensive field visits were conducted with farmers, students and technicians. Initially, general information on passion fruit cultivation, edaphoclimatic requirements are reviewed, analyzing the effect of climatological variables such as wind speed, relative humidity, temperature, rainfall and sunshine, in intensive production processes, which are manifested in the monthly distribution of production volume, expressed as percentage, taking as a reference the three support and conduction systems (simple trellis, “T” system and double cordon), highlighting attributes, advantages, disadvantages and their relationship with productivity and quality. Finally, the effect of pollinating agents was described. It was concluded that according to the ecophysiological requirements of passion fruit cultivation under tropical Colombian conditions, the trellising system, which presents the greatest advantages for cultural and phytosanitary management is the simple trellis, obtaining higher production volumes of optimum quality. Resumo Na última década, o cultivo do maracujá voltou a ganhar especial importância, expressa no aumento da área de plantio, para abastecer mercados em crescimento. Este estudo sistematiza as experiências de pesquisa e de produção acumuladas em mais de três décadas de trabalho técnico na região central da Colômbia, nas localidades de Valle del Cauca, Cauca, Huila, Tólima, Quindio e Risaralda. Visitas de campo foram realizadas com agricultores, estudantes e técnicos. Inicialmente, informações gerais sobre o cultivo do maracujá e requisitos edafoclimáticos são avaliadas, analisando a incidência de variáveis climatológicas, como velocidade do vento, umidade relativa, temperatura, precipitação e insolação, em processos intensivos de produção, que se manifestam na distribuição mensal do volume de produção, expresso em percentagem, tendo como referência os três sistemas de condução (espaldadeira, latada e cordão), destacando os atributos, as vantagens, as desvantagens e sua relação com a produtividade e a qualidade. Finalmente, o efeito de agentes polinizadores será
