Abstract

L'itinéraire technique traditionnel de production de la carotte à la Martinique conduit à des rendements faibles et une récolte souvent voisine de zéro. Treize essais faits de 1983 à 1986 ont mis en évidence des solutions pour accroître la productivité de cette culture. Mais, le transfert de ces résultats à l'agriculteur est difficile à réaliser. Les études sur les coûts des cultures soulignent que l'intensification pouvant entraîner des progrès de rendement ne peut être obtenue qu'avec des coûts de culture supérieurs à ceux de l'itinéraire traditionnel. Il semble que le refus de ces améliorations soit dû à une disponibilité monétaire insuffisante de la part de l'agriculteur pour faire les investissements dans la structure de l'exploitation, mais aussi dans les intrants et la main d'oeuvre nécessaires à l'intensification. Plusieurs solutions techniques, micro-économiques et macro-économiques sont discutées. ----- In Martinique the traditional technical package, usually used for carrot production, gives low yields. As results of 13 trials conducted from 1983 to 1986, new practices capable of improving carrots yield were derived. But it is very difficult to transfer these trial results to growers. All the new techniques able to improve the yield are more expensive than old traditional usages. Farmers don't accept the technical progress because they have not sufficient cash for matériel or human investements. Many technical solutions in the micro-economic and the macro-economic point of view are debated.
