The cultivation area of yellow pitaya (Selenicereus megalanthus) is expanding globally, but its production faces challenges such as sensitivity to environmental conditions, insufficient understanding of agronomic requirements, and high labor intensity. This study systematically analyzes the cultivation techniques and strategies for yellow pitaya, focusing on optimizing water and fertilizer management, artificial pollination, and evaluating the adaptability of these techniques under different climatic conditions. The results indicate that proper fertilization management, organic cultivation practices, and artificial pollination significantly enhance yield and fruit quality. Integrating various cultivation techniques, combining organic and inorganic fertilizers, improving pollination methods, and implementing breeding programs could further promote efficient production of yellow pitaya. This study provides valuable guidance for growers, researchers, and policymakers, contributing to the sustainable development of the yellow pitaya industry.
