 final grades of elementary school and technical integrated high school in agriculture. This institution has 

existed for more than three decades and is important for its interaction with communities in the municipality

 of Vilão Pavão, as well as with other neighboring municipalities. It also has the function of being a demonstrative

 field of alternative technologies so that the farmer can expand his field of knowledge and share it, as many

 of these producers' children study at school. Thus, meeting a demand to improve knowledge and expand

 research and bring new pineapple production techniques to the municipality, since it has been trying to

 insert this culture to become the main culture on its property. The present research project aims to insert

 the production of pineapple cv. Pearl and cv. BRS Vitória in an alternative way, bringing ways to produce 

it in an organic way, reducing the use of herbicides with the use of mulching, improving the use of area

 and reducing the time of fruit production. The success in the application of this production technology 

in an organic pineapple system may contribute to the further development of this culture in the municipality

 and in the south of Espírito Santo State.
