Predicting Forage Mass with Nondestructive Tools
CSA News, 2017 Subjective visual estimations of forage mass are inaccurate and often lead to poor stocking decisions. Most literature on estimating forage mass with nondestructive sampling procedures involves plant species that are similar in structure (i.e., height ...

Methodologies in the evaluation of forage mass in tree legumes.
Revista Brasileira de Ciências Agrárias - Brazilian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2018 To choose the method of forage mass estimation (FM), consider the plant species, required accuracy and available technology. In this sense, the objective was to evaluate the methods of determination of direct FM and comparative visual performance with ...

Rising Plate Meter Calibrations for Forage Mass of Wheat and Rye [PDF]
Agricultural & Environmental Letters, 2019 The rising plate meter was useful in predicting forage mass. A quadratic functional form is favored for predicting forage mass using the rising plate meter.

Methods for estimating forage mass in pastures in a tropical climate
Revista de Ciências Agrárias, 2016 There are various methods to estimate the mass production of forage in pastures, but many are not accurate or unsuitable when used with certain species of fodder plants.

Vegetation composition and forage mass in grassland with a double structure under two winter grazing regimes [PDF]
Ciência Rural, 2018 : Remnant areas of Pampas grassland have a distinct double structure. Efficiency of livestock farming on these grasslands depends on practices that are synchronized with natural variation.

Forage mass, botanical composition and stocking density of bermudagrass overseeded with forage legumes [PDF]
Revista Ceres, 2017 ABSTRACT Pastures of the genus Cynodon are being cultivated alone in conventional production with high rates of nitrogen fertilizer. Information and research about its use on mixed-pasture system is scarce. The objective of this study was to evaluate three grazing systems with coastcross-1 (CC) + 100 kg N ha-1 year-1 + common vetch; CC + 100 kg N ha-1 ...

Foraging dive frequency predicts body mass gain in the Adélie penguin [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 AbstractQuantifying food intake in wild animals is crucial to many ecological and evolutionary questions, yet it can be very challenging, especially in the marine environment. Because foraging behavior can be inferred from dive recordings in many marine creatures, we hypothesized that specific behavioral dive variables can indicate food intake. To test

Blooming and Forage Characteristics of Twelve Native Forbs Subjected to Repeated Defoliation
Agronomy, 2023 Insect pollinators are in population decline due to environmental and chemical stressors. Including native forbs in pastures could benefit grazers and pollinators; however, their forage and flowering characteristics are not fully documented.
