Maize (Zea mays) is title major cereal crop in Nepal. Inter-cropping of legume for forage with maize is not a common practice of the fanners.  Four types of legumes (i.e. Phaseolus  radialus,  Dolichus  biflorus. Phaseolus vulgaris and Glycine max) were inter-cropped with maize to asses the total bio-mass productivity. A basal dose of FYM-10 mt/ha., N-60, P20₅-40, and K20-40 kg,/ha. was applied at the time of sowing. The total biomass produc­tion was recorded highest in the combination of Zea mayswith Glycine  max(64.1 mt/ha.), where Zea mays in combination with Phqseolus radialus and Glycine max produced  more  qualitative feed  (21 mt/ha.) for  livestock. Maize residue edible to animals was obtained in more quantity (22.5 mt/ha.) from purely grown maize. Similarly, purely  grown maize was also the major source of fuel  (28.3 mt/ha). However, there was statistically significant differences among the treatments for  the grain as well as legume forage production.
