In viticulture, early-season estimation of average Plant Stands number of grape bunches per vine is crucial for vineyard planning, investments and marketing (Laurent et al., 2021).Although sampling is widely carried out to estimate grape bunches per vine, there is no clearly established sampling protocol that can be used as a reference when performing these estimations.
Each practitioner therefore has their own sampling protocol.In this work, the Studio Equipment effect of differences between sampling protocols in terms of estimation errors were investigated to give some recommendations on the best possible sampling practices.
