Title
Pest Management and the Vegetable Farmer in Trinidad and Tobago
Keywords

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.
