Abstract
Home gardens is the reservoir of biodiversity and have played great role in on farm conservation and promotion of species. Biodiversity is a crucial component of agricultural system. Therefore, this study focused on assessment of the factors and structures affecting conservation of agrobiodiversity. The study used the techniques of household survey. The result showed that the home garden occupies only 10-16% of the total land. Size of home garden varied from 0.007 ha to 0.31 ha. The Shannon-Weaver’s index for rural community (H’=2.44) revealed that the rural community harboured higher plant species diversity in home gardens as compared to urban communities. Total 102 species belonging to 25 families have been taxonomically identified and recorded.
