·The main ·objective of the program was to initiate participatory onfarm maize seed production in .
·order to. meet the local level seed demand and develop as an enterprise. ~· total of fifty ni7Je .
farmers were involved in seed multiplication program. The program was conducted· at four
· villages namely.Dudhekhola (river basin), ·Artbunge "(mid hill), Bhakiml (high hill) of Myagdi, .
·· district and Deitrali (mid hill) in Palpa district in the western hills of Nepal. Agricultural·
Research Sta(ion, Lumle assisted to establish the revolving fund in a group to make the program
·sustainable. Far~e~s from Dudhekhola of Myagdi produced]. 0 mt of Arun -I from 2. 0 hectares· ·
of land and Arthunge produced I. 85 mt seed of Manakamana - I fi·om 3. 0 hectares. All together ·
2. 85 mt of seed was sold to different agencies at the rate of Rs. I8. 0/kg and the remaining seeds ·
. were exchanged among the farmers during .summer season of 2000. Farmers from -Bhakimli
produced 2.3 mt ·maize seed of (Manakamana ~I) from 2.5 hectares of land and I.O mt of white
· hill pool seed was produced from I.5 hec(ares at Bhaidmli, Myagdi. Similarly, farm~rs from
Deaural, Palpd produped I.O mt of Population- 22 maize· seed from I.2 hectares, ZM 62I 0.05
· . · mt. from 0. 03 hectare and Yellow hill pool was 0. 05 mt from 0. 02 hectare. A total of 3. 4 mt. of

exchanged among_ the farmers to farmers as cash and as well as kind. The net return from a
· hectare oj land of Arun maize seed production was· Rs. 23885. 0/hectare at river ·basin of
' Dhudhekhola and Rs. "19I50.0/ hectare from Manakamana -I in mid hill of Arthunge and grass ·
product of maize seed output/inpur ratio. was 2.23 and 1".83 respectively at each location during
. 2000. Similarly, net return from a hectare of land ·of maize seed was Rs. 25I59.0 at mid hill, ·
Dew·ali and Rs. 2~920.0 hectare from high hili Bhakimli. The gross. product of maize seed of
output/input ration was 2.I6 at Deurali, Palpa and 2.0I .at Bhakimli, Myagdi districts in 200I,_
Community based maize seed production program was implemented succes$fully with the active
