The present study entitled “Quadrant Standardization for herbaceous species of Benhama Ganderbal, Kashmir” was conducted at Faculty of forestry, Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Kashmir, Benihama, Ganderbal, Jammu and Kashmir during the year 2015-2016 with the aim to assess the best quadrant size, for herbaceous species at this site. Standardization of quadrant sizes was done for studying vegetation of herbaceous species on that degraded site. Five treatments were taken including five sizes of quadrants viz., 0.5m x 0.5m, 0.75m x 0.75m, 1m x 1m, 1.25m x 1.25m and 1.5m x 1.5m. Among the five quadrant sizes, (1.5m x1.5m) quadrant size gave highest density, frequency and abundance which was at par with (1.25m x 1.25m) quadrant size and quadrant size (1.25m x 1.25m) was considered to be the best among all the quadrant sizes.
