Estimating Forage Mass with a Commercial Capacitance Meter, Rising Plate Meter, and Pasture Ruler [PDF]
Agronomy Journal, 2001 Accurate assessment of forage mass in pastures is key to budgeting forage in grazing systems. Our objective was to determine the accuracy of an electronic capacitance meter, a rising plate meter, and a pasture ruler in measuring forage mass and to determine the cost of measurement inaccuracy.

The Rising Plate Meter: Is it really effective in ON pastures? [PDF]
Rural Review: Ontario Rural Planning, Development, and Policy, 2022 Herbage mass estimation is a crucial tool for producers to increase pasture efficiency. Increasing pasture use efficiency through improved grazing management practices is critical for effective livestock production and results in both economic and environmental benefits. Herbage mass (HM) can be determined through the use of the rising plate meter (RPM)

Grass and Forage Science, 1984
AbstractThe performances of a rising‐plate meter and a single‐probe electronic capacitance meter were compared for estimating the herbage mass of irrigated pastures both before and after grazing by dairy cows. Mean CV for the rising plate meter and the single‐probe meter were 12.7% and 13.3% respectively when herbage mass was measured before grazing ...

Accurate estimation of herbage mass (HM) is essential for optimising grass utilisation and increasing profit for pasture-based livestock agriculture. The rising plate meter (RPM) is used for predicting HM based on average compressed sward height (CSH).

Comparing Forage Biomass Estimation Between Forager-Mounted Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) and Rising Plate-Meter (RPM) Techniques. [PDF]
XXV International Grassland Congress (IGC 2023), 2023 Quantifying the forage mass harvested per paddock is essential for informing late-season management decisions on grazing livestock farms. This information can be used to calculate winter feed budgets and thus support decisions such as area of land to defer for autumn grazing, and head of stock to sell before winter housing. However, there are practical

Efficient grass-based livestock production depends on precise allocation of pasture to the herd in the form of herbage mass (HM). Accurate measurement of HM results in increased utilisation of grass in the herd’s diet and consequently reductions in whole-farm feed inputs, emissions and costs.

Seasonal Variation in the Rising Plate Meter Calibration for Forage Mass [PDF]
Agronomy Journal, 2012 Measurement 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.

AbstractAn existing varying coefficient calibration method for estimating herbage mass from rising plate meter reading was validated using datasets for different years and pastures, and the variation among these in the coefficients of the model was structurally assessed using a linear mixed effects model to develop a versatile calibration equation.
