Introduction: The cupuaçu tree (Theobroma grandiflorum) is one of the most important native fruit trees in the Amazon region, standing out as an economic alternative for small and medium producers. Aims: The objective of this work is to make a brief literature review about the main pests that act in the cupuaçu culture. Literature Review: The cupuaçu fruit borer (Conotrachelus humeropictus) has been the worst pest of the crop. The larva of this insect develops inside the fruit and then goes to the ground, where the pupa period passes, and then the adults emerge. Farmers who are dedicated to the cultivation of cupuassu trees recognize the importance of new technologies that can help control pests as a way to avoid significant losses of crops. However, they usually face a lack of information or efficient control methods for the fruit borer.
