Altogether 26 pasture species and herbs i.e.10 graminae, 12 leguminous and 4 herb forage species were sown at livestock Farm Jiri Khimti. The germination, establishment, growth, flowering and seeding characters were studied under local condition of Jiri Khimti. The objective of this study was to find out the performance and adaptability of sown New Zealand and other exotic pasture species and herbs at local environment condition of Jiri Khimti. As a whole, graminae species performed better than leguminous species on germination, establishment, growth and other reproductive parameters. Among grass species, tall oat grass (Arenantherium elatius) performed the best with the highest green matter (G.M) 45 t/ha. Three out of four herb species did well at local condition.  One herb species sheep buret (Sanisor baminor) performed the best. It produced 18.5 ton green .matter/ha.Lotus 'Maku' (Lotus pedunculatus) found to be the best among leguminous species. It produced 45 ton green matter/ha.
