Datamars recommends the use of Jenquip Pasture Management Software. This
software is required in order to download data from the plate meter. It takes the
information from your farm walk and produces ready-to-use reports. Jenquip Pasture
Management Software is supplied with your plate meter on a USB stick.
Use the Jenquip Pasture Management software to further process the plate meter
readings and do your feed wedge:
Total Dry Matter = Kg Dry Matter per Hectare x Paddock Area
Growth Rate of Pasture
= Final kg DM/ha - Initial kg DM/ha (kg DM/ha/day)
Number of days between samples
