The objective of this research was to evaluate the economical profitability of the yellow passion fruit tree planted in hole and no-tillage under organic cultivation in the state of Acre, Brazil. It was evaluated five types of preparation of the soil: T1- No tillage with a hole of the size of a clod (0.19 m x 0.063 m) with covering; T2- hole of 0.30 m x 0.30 m x 0.30 m with fertilization in the hole of planting; T3- similar to T2 but with fertilization of coverage; T4- hole of 0.50 m x 0.50 m x 0.50 m with fertilization in the hole of planting; and T5- similar to T4 but with fertilization of coverage. The economical and operational costs medium were larger for the no-tillage and the planting systems in holes of 0.50 m, they present an elevated total cost of production and smaller yield. The liquid revenue was larger in the planting systems with holes of 0.30 m with fertilization in the hole (R$10,234.19/ha) and of coverage (R$11,501.44/ha) and in the no-tillage system (R$8,925.08/ha). In all of the treatments, the economical situation was of supernormal profit, so the tendency is of more farmers to enter in the market.
