Editor's Notes

  1. Maize (Zea Mays L.) is the third most important cereal crop species, after wheat and rice, grown throughout a wide range of climates. Maize is desired for its multiple purposes as human food, animal feed and for pharmaceutical and industrial manufacturing (Huang et al., 2006). Maize production in Asia countries is being increasingly important as the demand for both national needs and export is expending quickly. Maize grain yields in the temperate developed world average 8.2 ton/ha, compared to 3.5 t/ha in tropical less developed countries.
  2. Indigenous forms of statements are keys to local level decision making processes and for the continuation and spread of indigenous agriculture This knowledge of agriculture has developed over generations through the route of men-environment interaction and its continuity depends on its transmission and the ability of the young generation to acquire and practice it
  3. -the study was conducted in 5 villages-----------------------which situate in the northern part of myanmar and also hilly region -the study was utilize both -was collected from -------------in both Myanmar and other countries
  4. Sampling method is used as simple random sampling method Primary data got from face to face interviews with key informants The first section is information on socio-economic characteristics of the farmers. Respondents were asked to indicate their age, level of education, size of household, sources of farm labour, size of land holding. The second section is information on indigenous maize cultivation practices. Secondary data also got from desk review related with Departments and official publications concerning indigenous knowledge of maize farmers
  5. The collected raw data coded and entered into a database and to analyzed by the Statistics Package for Social Science Program (SPSS)
  6. This slide show result and discussion about respondents divided by age
  7. Mostly, year around production is Maize, Pea, Potato, Mustard, Cabbage, Garlic, Onion, Cauliflower, Broccoli, Pumpkin, Carrot in many villages Strawberry, grape, Roselle, ginger, paddy, potato, sugar cane, mustard, onion, garlic, cabbage, sesame, celery, bitter egg plant and tree tomato cucumber, chili, avocado, satchuma, pear, orange and field pea in some others
  8. No input for maize production because of own seeds, family labours, no chemicals and no land preparation. Some farmers used only 3.4% for labor cost. Mostly cultivated as home-garden and upland. Current spacing is 2’ ×2’. Subsistence farming only for own consumption. Organic manure and no pesticides
  9. The indigenous practices such as zero tillage, dibbling of maize seed, application of cow and green manure are the benefits for environmental and natural resources and humans’ health. One of the other practice burning of crop residues before next land preparation is undesirable for agricultural sector.
  10. Cobs are used as fuel is safe for environmental resources and -----------------------are safe for storage space.
  11. More need for -------------------------- related to agricultural practices. All of these are only preliminary data analysis for the previous survey and then the detail data analysis will be reported after soon the conference Storage method need to practice with air tight bags or drum. Seed need to select good characteristics (High germination, free from pest and disease, free from unfilled grain, etc.)
