Abstract
Improvement in crop management practices by farmers, including selection of varieties, time of planting, appropriate selection of growth media, and adoption of water management strategies, could enhance crop productivity and diversity under both greenhouse and open field conditions of cultivation in Caribbean countries. Some of the constraints to agricultural productivity could be addressed by adopting technologies for protected agriculture in order to mitigate the impact of mechanical damage and susceptibility to pest and disease of tomato and sweet pepper crops under open field cultivation.
