Indirect, non-destructive methods for estimating herbage mass on pasture may help growers to better estimate herbage mass and manage the grazing process. The objective of this study was to evaluate two methods for estimating herbage mass on Marandu palisadegrass [Brachiaria brizantha (A. Rich.) Stapf] pastures, over two grazing seasons. The relationships between herbage mass and two indirect, non-destructive measurements (sward surface height - SSH and rising plate meter - RP) were analyzed via regression analysis. Mean determination coefficients (r²) for the regression models were 0.82 and 0.91 for RP and SSH, respectively. Time within season influenced both slope (b) and intercept (a) of the regression models in both methods. The change in model parameters over the course of the seasons suggests the need for frequent model revision and revalidation.Métodos indiretos e não-destrutivos para a estimativa da massa de forragem no pasto podem auxiliar o manejador no estabelecimento de estratégias ótimas de pastejo. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar métodos indiretos de estimativa de massa de forragem em pastos de capim Marandu [Brachiaria brizantha (A. Rich.) Stapf] sob lotação rotativa durante dois anos. Para descrever as relações entre massa de forragem e dois métodos testados (altura do dossel e disco ascendente) foram empregadas regressões lineares. As equações geradas apresentaram coeficiente de determinação médio (r²) de 0,82 e 0,91 para o disco e altura, respectivamente. A época do ano exerceu influência sobre o coeficiente angular (b) e o intercepto (a) das regressões de ambos os métodos. Essa alteração dos componentes das curvas ao longo do tempo indica a necessidade de freqüente revalidação dos modelos.Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP
