ABSTRACT
Desi or local seeds are well suited to local agro-climatic situation,but it is seen that damage to our indigenous biodiversity of plants has accelerated in the past five to ten years.In Nimar region specially in tribal rural areas, many unique fruit,fodder,crop and vegetable plants were noted as local varieties but now a days their frequency become less and less due to many reasons.Establishment of local seed bank in the area may provide one solution for conservation of the unique germplasm of plants in the form of seeds.
