Abstract: Due to the lack of food to offer the animals during the dry season, the irrigated cultivation of cactus pear is justified to accelerate the harvest. Given this, the supply of saline water as a water source to meet the needs of plants becomes an important alternative for the development of irrigated agriculture. However, irrigation with saline water when poorly managed, can compromise the production system. Animal manure can be used to minimize the harmful effects of irrigation water salinity on plants. For higher productivity of cactus pear crops, the implementation of a production system with water supplementation using irrigation with brackish water from underground wells in the region and the adequate incorporation of organic fertilizer is an alternative for farmers. Therefore, this review aimed to gather information about the cultivation of cactus pear irrigated with saline water and fertilized with doses of of organic matter.
