| Descripción: | Barbados has the distinction of a one crop economy, that crop being sugar cane. This situation has existed for over 500 years, and during the latter part of this period, particularly since 1924, the cane breeding section of the Department of Agriculture has carried on extensive work in developing high yielding varieties of sugar cane especially suited to the island. The nature of investigation has, however, being virtually confined to this one direction, and study of the other important growth factors such as edaphic and especially climatic control has lagged far behind. Fortunately in 1959 a microclimatic station was set up at Waterford under the auspices of the Geography Department of McGill University, and in the last 2 years a considerable knowledge of various climatic parameters has been amassed, and an insight into the moisture balance regime achieved. |
