Conteúdo:	The chapter then presents detailed information on the different types of management (e.g., cultural and phytosanitary), harvest and post-harvest, as well as techniques applicable to the processing of quality pumpkins. Given the constant need for improvement in human nutrition, vegetables are integral in human diets because they are sources of diverse nutrients, considered to be tasty, and present variability in color, which is directly associated with the composition and presence of bioactive compounds. Robust technical information that is available to producers, agronomists, and students is vital for sustaining and improving production and marketing systems in given cultures. Such information allows stakeholders in these systems to optimize management, productivity, and the quality of their products.
