Abstract

The practice of strawberry culture in Brazil occurs in South and Southeast States of the country, with low emphasis to Northeast region, especially in Pernambuco. The strawberry is a fruit that has great financial return generating employment and foreign exchange for states and municipalities. The discovery conducive areas for cultivation can generate greater local development. Aiming the expansion of agricultural frontier of the strawberry, this work has aimed to indicate the suitable municipalities in Pernambuco to strawberry cultivation. Based on temperature and altitude data, a map of cities with potential was generated, where places and appropriate season for cultivation in Pernambuco were determined. The municipality of Poção was demonstrated as an excellent alternative to the strawberry cultivation in the months of June to October. Caetés, Garanhuns, Jucati, Paranatama, Saloá, Taquaritinga do Norte and Triunfo showed to be municipalities with medium potential for cultivation between July and August, except Triunfo, whose period is extended until September.
