Title
Pest Management and the Vegetable Farmer in Trinidad and Tobago
Keywords
Trinidad and Tobago have historically not been big
;
vegetable producers and during peak agricultural production,
;
impetus was on estate cultivation. Traditionally, production
;
has occurred on small farms found as isolated units or as subdivisions
;
within larger acreages. Producers generally have no
;
time and cannot employ labour required for well balanced
;
pest management while maintaining profits. Local consumerism
;
dictates the range and variety of vegetables cultivated.
;
Research is often not sufficiently relevant to field situations
;
and transfer of technology does nor seem very effective,
;
resulting in unhealthy farming practices. More applied
;
research, effective education of farmers and consumers, objecivity
;
in seletion for land distribution and training, central
;
control of pest management, and greater incentive for
;
motivating more people toward total dedication to agriculture
;
are recommended.
