| description | There are several producing zones of sugar apple in Colombia, which count on ideal agro climatic conditions to develop this fruit tree; though, due to the deficient management, the production and profitability are very low. This project was aiming to implement an integrated management through a wide literature review and observations realized at the farm “El Ensueño” in Apulo (Cundinamarca); central part of Colombia. Sugar apple is native from the tropical regions of Central America or the Antilles; it is a small semi-deciduous tree growing from 3 to 7 m height. This crop grows below 1,000 m above sea level, with temperatures from minimum 10- 20ºC and to 22-28ºC max. It requires 750 to 1,000 mm of annual rainfall and relative humidity higher than 60%. It is slightly demanding soil requirements. Fruit set and productivity increase with the use of artificial pollination or liberation of pollinators. Inside the most important pest insects there are the wasp seed borer (Bephratelloides maculicollis Cam.) and the moth fruit borer (Cerconota anonella Sepp.). The most restricting diseases are the anthracnose (Colletotrichum gloeosporioides) attacking leaves, flowers and fruits and the white spot of foliage (Cercospora annonae). The fruit presents a climacteric behavior. |

Existen varias zonas productoras de anón en Colombia que cuentan con las condiciones agroclimáticas óptimas para el desarrollo de este frutal; pero debido al deficiente manejo del cultivo en el país, es muy baja la producción y rentabilidad del mismo. Este trabajo se realizó con el objetivo de implementar un manejo integrado a través de una amplia revisión bibliográfica y observaciones hechas en la granja “El Ensueño” del municipio de Apulo, Cundinamarca. El anón proviene de las regiones tropicales de Centroamérica o las Antillas; es un árbol semicaducifolio de porte bajo de 3 a 7 m de altura. Crece por debajo de 1.000 msnm, con temperaturas de 10 a 20ºC como mínimas y de 22 a 28ºC como máximas. Requiere de 750 a 1.000 mm de lluvia anual y humedad relativa superior a 60%. Es poco exigente en tipo de suelo. El cuajamiento de frutos y la productividad del cultivo aumentan con el uso de polinización artificial o con la liberación de insectos polinizadores. Dentro de las plagas más importantes se encuentra la avispa perforadora de las semillas (Bephratelloides maculicollis Cam.) y la polilla perforadora del fruto (Cerconota anonella Sepp.). Las enfermedades más limitantes son la antracnosis (Colletotrichum gloeosporioides) que ataca hojas, flores y frutos, y la mancha blanca del follaje (Cercospora annonae). El fruto presenta un comportamiento climatérico.
