Studies on two models of vegetable production for homestead under different levels of fertility

The experiment was carried out at the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute farm, Joydebpur, Bangladesh during winter season of 1987-88. Two models (monocrop and intercrop) of vegetable production were tested under three fertility (cowdung, fertilizer and cowdung + fertilizer) levels. The resul...

Summary:The experiment was carried out at the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute farm, Joydebpur, Bangladesh during winter season of 1987-88. Two models (monocrop and intercrop) of vegetable production were tested under three fertility (cowdung, fertilizer and cowdung + fertilizer) levels. The results revealed that the yield of all vegetables was maximum when grown by appliying both cowdung and fertilizer compared to cowdung and fertilizer alone. Intercropping was better than monocrop interms of yield, nutrient availability and income. A family could get 18.57 gm protein, 18-96 mg iron, 552-17 mg calcium 22435.9 microgram vitamin A and 339-59 mg 438-63 mg calcium, 21172-80 microgram vitamin A and 285.15 mg vitamin C per day from monocrop under higher fertility level.
