Summary: Because of the increasing cost of improved maize seed, 20% of the 65,000 ha sown in Nayarit, Mexico is sown with advanced generation seed, despite 20% losses of maize grain (Valdivia and Vidal 1995). Small farmers have decided a better choice is developing their own improved seed. This abstract describes the experience of a group of small farmes in developing, producing and planting their own maize hybrid seed.
