A study on the homestead nursery of CARE supported LIFT-Patuakhali Project was conducted over a period of three months from December 1998 to March 1999 with respect to farm categories A (annually seedling production greater than or equal to 10,000); B (annually seedlings production greater than or equal to 5000 less than 10,000), C (annually seedlings production less than 5000). Twenty four farmers (12 LEs & 12 HHs) were assessed in terms of seedling production techniques, performance of seedlings, planting mixing pattern and management and marketing. Homestead nursery was the foundation of the economic structure of LEs and it was the principal source of income. Lands for homestead nursery were selected on raised, easy viewed and also, which was free from water logged condition. Nursery was generally prepared with hoe and spade.
