Presently, there is no information available about the effect of bunch compactness and berry thinning methods on wine grape quality sensory attributes in ‘Monastrell’ cultivar. Thus, main aim present study was to determine influence two methods, which consisted reduction 25% 50% number berries each bunch, organoleptic this Non-compact bunches both showed a significant total yield, compactness, ...

• No commercial equipment aimed to measure grape bunch transpiration is available. A new open chamber system that monitors berries/bunch presented. The prototype based on the use of relative humidity sensors. Detaching from plant did not alter gas exchange for several hours. An increased berry resulted in a speeded maturation. Grape considered an important process during maturation, but scienti...

Warm and moist weather conditions during berry ripening provoke Botrytis cinerea (B. cinerea) causing notable bunch rot on susceptible grapevines with the effect of reduced yield and wine quality. Resistance donors of genetic loci to increase B. cinerea resistance are widely unknown. Promising traits of resistance are represented by physical features like the thickness and permeability of the g...

Length-biased data are widely seen in applications. They are mostly applicable in epidemiological studies or survival analysis in medical researches. Here we aim to propose a Berry-Esseen type bound for the kernel density estimator of this kind of data.The rate of normal convergence in the proposed Berry-Esseen type theorem is shown to be O(n^(-1/6) ) modulo logarithmic term as n tends to infin...

Forecasting the grape yield of vineyards is of critical importance in the wine industry, as it allows grape growers to more accurately and confidently invests in capital equipment, negotiate pricing, schedule labour and develop marketing strategies. Currently, industry standard forecasts are generated by manual sampling of bunch weights, grape size, grape numbers and seasonal predictions which ...
