This article aimed to know and to understand the management practices of traditional maize varieties adopted in communities of family farmers – settlers of the Agrarian reform and indigenous Kaiowá - in the municipalities of Sidrolândia, Juti Dourados, in Mato Grosso do Sul. The cultural practices were observed and analyzed considering the following steps of the maize varieties development: seed; soil preparation; corn planting; cultural relations; selection of germplasm (seed); crop and uses of maize; and storage of germplasm (seed). Although these communities support the conservation of traditional maize varieties, the contamination by transgenics and the ecological imbalance are constant threats to the conservation of these varieties. Thus, the establishment of partnerships between institutions is necessary, as well as a broad forum in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul aiming to develop proposals and actions to protect the conservation of the agrobiodiversity of this state.
