Description

An experment for hoof and tooth cultivation by using the Korean native cow was conducted to study the effect of seeding time on establishment, survival, botanical composition and yield over tow years at alpine area of Korea. Sowing times were April and May in spring and August and September in autumn. Establishment of April, May and August sowing was similar result, showing about 10 percent establishment. Survival was more satisfactory in spring sowing than in autumn sowing. Low temperature during the winter season was thought to be main factors causing the death of the species sown in autumn. However, establishment and survival affected the botanical composition andDM Yield of oversowing pasture in the first and second year. Of the spring months, May was the most suitable month at the alpine area of Korea when pasture was established by hoof cultivation.
