ABSTRACT

Based on the findings from this study it can be concluded that:

Maize farmers in Ondo State conserve biodiversity in situ since about 76% of them cultivate more than one variety on their farm lands. On-farm maize biodiversity (cultivar richness) among farmers is significantly influenced by several factors such as farm size, farming experience, institutional support, information received and number of agricultural technologies used. To effectively conserve and promote maize biodiversity among farmers, relevant stakeholders should focus on strengthening institutional support to farmers and also incentivize them to invest on agricultural technologies because these variables significantly influenced biodiversity conservation among maize farmers.
