The Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Mill is a species of cactus widely distributed in arid and semi-arid regions, largely dependent on environmental factors for its successful reproduction. This study focuses on understanding how abiotic factors, such as temperature, light, humidity, and nutrient availability, influence the development of O. ficus fruit, known as prickly pear, especially precipitation and soil characteristics. It has been observed that variations in these factors can significantly affect the processes of pollination, fertilization, growth, and fruit maturation. This is important for understanding the plant's biology and its management in agricultural and conservation settings. The objectives of this systematic review are focused on analyzing reports of how abiotic factors affect flowering and consequently the filling and development of O. ficus fruit, presented in the scientific literature between the years 2014 – 2024. The results of this review may contribute to the design of sustainable agricultural practices and the conservation of biodiversity in arid and semi-arid ecosystems.
