T
he study was conducted at roof top of Horticulture Research
Centre (HRC), Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute
(BARI), Gazipur during July 2016 to June 2017 to evaluate the
suitable model for year round vegetable supply to the city
dwellers. Nine Treatments viz., T1= Plastic box 1, T2= Plastic
box 2, T3= Plastic box 3, T4= Plastic box 4, T5= Plastic box 5,
T6= Plastic box 6, T7= Plastic box 7, T8= Half drum, T9= Sac/
Multilayer box and three roof top garden models viz., Model
1, Model 2, Model 3were included in the study. Each model
consists of 22 type vegetables. Considering the 3 models, there
were a narrow difference in term of vegetable yield and prices.
The main cause behind it was the number of vegetables were
same (22) in all models. Just rearrange the vegetables within the
treatments and type of production system viz., single cropping,
inter cropping and relay cropping. So, on a roof garden from a
10 m2 / 100 ft2 area, anybody can follow any model preferably
Model 1 andModel 2, which vegetable price (2270 tk) and yield
(73 kg) were higher, respectively. This study was just 1-year
result, so after another year trial it may be concluded which
model is best in terms of yield andprice to feed the city dwellers.
