Abstract

A study was conducted in Mauma Kharka, Olang Chung Gola VDC of Taplejung district, Nepal during June, 2010 to November, 2010 to determine the status of available herbage mass at transhumance system. Accordingly, herbage biomass estimation was done in three different slope categories using RCB design (0.05) along the three slope categories, with the mean dried weight 1.8 t/ha, 3.6 t/ha, and 2.6 t/ha for July, August, and September, respectively.
