Abstract
Fruit diversity is essential to fulfill the diversified nutritional
requirement as well as to conserve the genetic resources and environmental
balance. The target of this study was to investigate the
diversity of fruit species in the Haor homestead and to explore the
relationship between growers characteristics and fruit diversity in their
homestead. The study covered 300 homesteads from five unions Ajmirigonj Upazila
of Habiganj District. The information’s were collected by using structured
questionnaires, formal and informal interviews, field observations and group
discussion with the homestead fruit grower. The observation revealed that age of the respondents and age of the homestead has no
relationship with the fruit diversity, while education, family size, occupation of the respondents, area of the homestead,
fruit area in the homesteads have low and positive relationship with the fruit
diversity. Yearly income has low
and negative relationship with the fruit diversity but not significant.
