Abstract

The fow income peasants of Estado de México have few production alternatives as their lands have very low fertility and at such severe slopes that make profitable crops very difficult to grow. Pitahaya (Hy/ocereus undatus) is a plant with adaptability potential to the difficult ecological conditions that prevail ln marginal zones of the state, in addition to its high profitability and growning demands from the national and international markets due to its delicious fruit and its price. The present study was carried out in the southern part of the state; methodology included the modeling of climate and soil requirements of the specie by means of a Geographical lnformation System (GIS). Through the overlapping of the different environmental variable covers the areas with such dernands were defined far the cultivation of the pitahaya. The land with good potential for the specie (156,816 ha) is located in the Rural Distrlcts of Valle de Bravo, Tejupilco and Coatepec Harinas, where warms weather prevails and slopes are over 12% in most of its territory.
