Capacitance Sensor for Forage Mass Determination
International Conference on Crop Harvesting and Processing, 2007 (electronic only), 2007Non-contacting methods for material properties determination and crop yield determination are the best solution especially for rough conditions in agriculture, however, it requires reliable and durable sensors as a source of primary data. The capacitance sensor based technique can be used for forage material mass determination in order to utilize ...

Automating Measurement of Forage Mass in Pasture
Forage & Grazinglands, 2007Measuring forage mass (FM) is crucial in grazed pastures, but the process is labor intensive. Several indirect methods of estimating standing FM are used, but all require a large number of observations for an adequate sample. One popular technique relates FM to height of a disk or plate compressing the forage beneath.

Observer variability for disk meter measurements of forage mass
Agronomy Journal, 1992AbstractInconsistency among research workers in estimating forage mass in grazing experiments would limit the value of forage mass estimates, but this problem has not been thoroughly examined. A study was conducted to determine variation among observers in using the disk meter to measure forage mass on tall fescue [Festuca arundinacea (L.) Schreb ...

Correcting Measurements of Pasture Forage Mass by Vacuuming the Stubble
Agronomy Journal, 2002Estimates of forage mass in pasture obtained by harvesting small plots may be too low because fragments of the harvested herbage are dropped into the stubble and not recovered. Our objective was to evaluate stubble vacuuming as a means of retrieving such material, thereby improving the accuracy of forage mass estimation.

Seasonal Variation in the Rising Plate Meter Calibration for Forage Mass
Agronomy Journal, 2012Measurement of forage mass is critical to the management of forage allowance in grazing systems. The rising plate meter (RPM) was developed to monitor forage mass quickly and easily; however, it must be calibrated to provide reliable calculations of forage mass and the calibration coefficients may vary across seasons.

Bat flight-muscle mass: implications for foraging strategy
Australian Journal of Zoology, 2004The primary flight muscles of the chest, shoulder, back and upper arms were weighed for 29 species of Australian bat, representing two suborders and six families. Values of muscle masses were found to be between 9 and 23% of the mass of the bat ( m bat) and aligned into three statistically distinct classes that relate foraging strategy with morphology ...
