Abstract:
The experiment was conducted at the rooftop of Soil Science Department and
research farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, during the period from
October 2020 to December 2020 to study the performance of spinach in the rooftop
and farm. The experiments were laid out in RCBD design with three replications. The
study consists of two factors. Factor A: Three levels of nitrogen N₀ (control), N₁ (56 kg
ha¯¹), and N₂ (84 kg ha¯¹), and Factor 2: Three levels of phosphorus P₀ (control), P₁ (36
kg P
2
O
5
ha¯¹) and P₂ (57.5 kg P
2
O
5
ha¯¹). Haldibari, local variety seed was used in this
experiment. Different growth and yield contributing parameters were recorded to
determine the optimum dose of N and P for growing on rooftop and farm. The result
reveals that N₁ (56 kg ha¯¹) is optimum dose for growing spinach on both rooftop and
farm whereas, P₁ (36 kg P
2
O
5
ha¯¹) and P₂ (57.5 kg P
2
O
5
ha¯¹) are optimum dose for
rooftop for farm condition respectively. Among the treatment combination, N₁P₁ (56
kg/ha N + 36 kg/ha P₂O
5
) seems to be more suitable for getting higher yield in both
rooftop and farm.
