Experiment Background
|
India is leading producer of fruits in the world, despite the availability of fruits are less than recommended amount of 100g/capita/day. With increase in health consciousness, the demand of fruits has increased. Further, trends for fruit growing has increased in urban areas for want of chemical free fruits. Urban Horticulture is an important venture of farming system where, farming is practiced in the urban and semi-urban area on the land as well as on the roof top (Pant et al., 2018). Container farming is a micro model of farming where a family unit or household is producing fruits and vegetables in special containers for personal consumption to help improve the income, health and well –being of their family members”. Rapid urbanization and limited land area for planting felt the need for growing plants in containers on the roof top. In such circumstances container gardening is important aspect. Fruit growing in confined pot is not as common as in vegetables. Hence, very scanty scientific informations are available. However, fruit plants raising in containers are quite common. Raising of nursery plants in polythene bags using soil, sand, and Farmyard manures as a potting medium, such mixture produce good quality seedling (Miller and Jones, 1995) but raising a fruit crop in container is yet to be studied. Keeping above in mind the research work is initiated to generate basic information for popularization of container gardening technology with following objectives. |
