| Abstract/Contents: | "A simplified design for measuring the height of turfgrass (or forage) was developed and used by the Louisiana Agricultural Experiment Station (LAES). The device is similar to the common "disc meter" devices used for turfgrass and forage height measurement, but it uses a constant-force spring to simplify construction and operation. Use of a constant-force spring allows a steady operating force on the sliding member of the device and eliminates the need for machining slots, thus greatly simplifying construction and reducing cost. The simplified device has worked well in the turfgrass research program of the LAES." |
