Abstract:
An experiment was conducted during the period of October 2016 to February
2017 on the rooftop of Agriculture Faculty at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural
University, Dhaka-1207. Treatment as three levels of growing media i.e.
M
1
=Broken stone, M
2
= 50% khoa + 50% broken stone, M
= Khoa; and two levels
of variety i.e. V
1
= Exotic tomato line (AVRDC), V
2
3
= BARI Tomato 15. Result
indicated that almost all of the parameters varied significantly. The highest plant
height (78.67 cm), maximum number of fruits (31.01) and highest fruit yield
(858.67 g plant
-1
) were obtained from M
2
. Whereas it was the lowest in M
.
Considering the varietal performance, the highest plant height (81.00 cm),
maximum number of fruits (33.11) and highest fruit yield (840.11 g plant
) were
obtained from V
2
. The treatment combination M
2
V
gave the best performance in
terms of growth and yield parameters. So, 50% khoa + 50% broken stone and
BARI Tomato 15 could be used to cultivate tomato in roof top aquavegeculture
system
