摘要

Kiwifruit (Actinidia spp.) is globally valued for its unique flavor, nutritional richness, and commercial appeal. Achieving premium fruit quality and yield hinges on precise agronomic practices, including pollination management, nutrient optimization, irrigation, pruning, training, and the use of plant bioregulators. This review consolidates the current understanding of these practices while highlighting knowledge gaps and novel interventions. For instance, fruit grading criteria such as weight and dry matter content underscore the need for balanced strategies that enhance size without compromising quality. Recent innovations—such as robotic pollination systems, floral fragrance applications, and organic biostimulants—represent emerging opportunities to improve productivity and sustainability. Additionally, the review discusses the influence of summer and dormant pruning, canopy training techniques, varietal selection, and integrated nutrient management. This synthesis offers a comprehensive foundation for growers, researchers, and policymakers aiming to optimize kiwifruit production systems under evolving climatic and economic conditions.
