Anacardium occidentale, commonly known as cashew, is a plant widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions due to the increasing demand for the consumption of its fruits.The cashew has had an increasing productive development since the end of the last century, reporting in 2018 a world production of almost 6 million tons of cashew nuts, with approximately 50 % of the production destined for the international market.In this sense, different relevant agronomic aspects have been established to guarantee the optimal development of the crop, in addition to obtaining high yields and quality fruits.Thus, this review aimed to concisely expose the most relevant aspects associated with the agronomy of cashew cultivation.First, a brief morphological description of the plant, its growth properties, and commercially existing cashew varieties was made.Next, the appropriate methodology for the selection of planting material, site preparation, and planting process was presented.Likewise, the aspects associated with the nutritional supplementation of the crop and the management of pests and diseases were included.Finally, the crop harvesting procedure and its post-harvest treatment were described.Thus, the present work serves as an informative guide on the agronomy of cashew cultivation for the entire interested scientists, producers, and the general community.
