Abstract/ Executive Summary:

In the southern region of Bangladesh, especially in tidal prone submerged area, cultivation of vegetable is difficult compared to other areas of Bangladesh. In this area, usually farmers did not cultivate vegetable commercially. Almost every farmer has interest to produce vegetables for their own consumption. Highest yield of 1020 kg was obtained from Indian spinach followed by Okra, stem amaranth, wax gourd, pumpkin, bitter gourd and yard long bean. Total land area under vegetables production was 171 dec. Total production of vegetables was 4,602 kg. Among the produced vegetables, 2335, 470 and 1797 kg were sold, distributed and consumed, respectively. Total return was Tk. 92,040 from which 50.73% comes from sold vegetables.

Objectives:

Production of high value summer vegetables in fallow land and creeper vegetables on roof top with a view to increase income
To utilize homestead resources in scientific way
To meet up the nutrient requirements of the family members throughout the year and empower the female members

Methodology:

Sorgan bed method and Lebukhali model were used in vegetables production systems by 13 farmers. In sorjan bed method, number of beds were varied from 7-11. For, implementing Lebukhali model, 1.5 m×3 m six bed were prepared by each farmer. Ten different types of vegetable seeds namely, Indian spinach, Lady’s finger, Bitter gourd, Yard long bean, Cucumber, Stem Amaranth, Wax gourd, Ribbed gourd, Pumpkin and Pat shak were distributed among thirteen farmers.The fertilizer rate for Indian spinach, 800-400-400 g/decimal urea, TSP, MP were used. The fertilizer rate for Lady’s finger, 230-350-230 g/decimal urea, TSP, MP and for Bitter gourd 7 kg cowdung, 100 g TSP, 60 g MP and 75 g urea per pit were used. The fertilizer rate for Yard long bean, 100-90-75 g/decimal urea, TSP, MP and for Cucumber, 600-800-600 g/decimal urea, TSP, MP were used. The fertilizer rate for Stem Amaranth, 700-500-600 g/decimal urea, TSP, MP and for Wax gourd, 200-200-75 g/pit urea, TSP, MP. The fertilizer rate for Ribbed gourd, 200-150-80 g/pit urea, TSP, MP and for Pumpkin, 200-200-75 g/pit urea, TSP, MP. The fertilizer rate for Pat shak, 700-500-600 g/decimal urea , TSP, MP. Irrigation and insecticide were used as when necessary.
