Approximately 1% of an acre is clean picked and weighed. The current crop weight is multiplied by a berry weight factor and sample size factor to calculate a harvest estimate in tons/acre. In 2014, crop estimation at CLEREL was done at 50 DAB (August 4, 2014), approximately 65-70% final berry weight, and we used a berry weight multiplication factor of 1.4-1.5 (100/70 = 1.43). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c069abf8ab72268505973b8/1544196980269-0KI5CWKK6ZP6AZ8UW38I/sensor-tech-2.png Research - Using Sensor Technologies for More Accurate Crop Estimation Figure 2: A map of CLEREL vineyards depicting the NDVI generated vigor classifications (colors) and sample locations (black dots). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c069abf8ab72268505973b8/1544197023760-1OKG2PI7SVFRN2R6IV26/sensor-tech-3.png Research - Using Sensor Technologies for More Accurate Crop Estimation Figure 3: Crop estimation and actual yield maps including the relationships used to calculate the estimates.
