Abstract: 
Impact of disease severity on infected bunches upon a yield of grape variety Vanec, caused by Plasmopara viticola (Berk. & M.A. Curtis) Berl. & De Toni., every year causes damage to the yield of vines by infection the bunches while they are still unripe. It is essential to assess the severity of Downy Mildew in vineyards to predict yield loss accurately. The software platform 'image J' was used to detect and quantify the disease severity by measuring infected berries relative to healthy tissue. Regression analysis was used as a statistical method to predict yield loss. Plasmopara viticola was monitored in 2022 to find a rational solution to build a Yield Loss Forecast Model. The results of theoretical assumptions compared with actual field situations show that Yield Loss Forecasting Model within the allowed statistical range approximately predicts the yield loss of the control variant.
