Abstract
The cut flower sector is an area of horticulture that generates great economic and academic interest worldwide, the production of flowers represents a market segment that has aesthetic and sentimental purposes in many regions of the world. In recent years, a large amount of research has been generated that has promoted this sector, therefore, in this work we have proposed to develop a systematic review in this field of knowledge, with the objective of consolidating knowledge, guiding future research, and supporting informed decisions, thus contributing to the efficient use of resources and the continuous advancement of the cut flower industry. The systematic review process was divided into six stages, starting with the definition of the search equation and the collection of information from the prestigious Scopus database. Subsequently, a detailed quality and technical analysis of the 532 documents collected was conducted. These documents were grouped into 13 topics that are related to the production system, ranging from propagation techniques, genome study, genetic improvement to topics of current interest such as sustainability. Each of these topics was examined and the results of this analysis led to the preparation of this technical document, which includes relevant aspects that have contributed to the improvement of productivity and productive diversity in species and under different climatic conditions.
