Abstract/ Executive Summary:

In order to determine whether leafy vegetables like red amaranth, batisak and spinach grow well under mango tree, an investigation was carried out at the Regional Agricultural Research Station. Hathazari, Chittagong durign rabi season of 1992. The result of the study revealed that red amaranth among the three vegetables produced the maximum yield (8.6 t/ha) and batisak the lowest (4.23 t/ha) keeping spinach as an intermediate yielder (7.07 t/ha). The investigation showed that the vegetables under the study performed well even when produced under the mango tree.

Keywords: Leafy vegetables, Mango tree, Performance

Location: Regional Agricultural Research Station, Hathazari, Chittagong

End Date:

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Batishak, Spinach, Amaranth

Objectives:

To see the performance of leafy vegetables grown under mango tree.

Methodology:

The experiment was carried out in the eastern mango garden of the Regional Agricultural Research Station, Hathazari, Chittagong during rabi season of 1992. Mango plants in the garden were 25 year old and spaced by 12.5 m apart. Three leafy vegetables namely spinach, red amaranth and batisak were the three treatments of the experiment. The experiment was set up in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Unit plot size was 7.5 m x 7.5 m. Seeds of all the three vegetables were sown on 1 January, 1992. Spinach seeds were pretreated in water for 24 hours as suggested. All the three leafy vegetables were directly sown in the field. The spacings followed for batisak, spinach and red amaranth were 20 cm x 20 cm, 15 cm x 10 cm and 10 cm x5 cm, respectively. The crops were fertilized as per recommendation. The harvesting of the three different crops were done at the harvestable maturity of each of the crop. Data on different yield contributing characters and yield of all three vegetables were recorded form one square meter land. Statistical analysis was done and the treatment means were separated by DMRT for interpretation.
