Dr. Chiang also pointed out that after careful studies experts decided to choose vegetable as the first objects of tests, The reason is that vegetables have a shorter growth period and are in short supply during the summer. The success of this experiment can help solve the problem of vegetable shortages in Taiwan, especially in Taipei.
江景村主任同時指出，在選擇作物時，經過多方研究，決定先以蔬菜為對象，因為蔬菜生長期短，而且蔬菜在夏天裡的生產常有不足的現象，希望由於此一試驗的成功，可以多少解決台灣、尤其是台北蔬菜缺乏的情形。
