The invention concerns a system () for characterising the physiological state of woody plants () with branches grown in rows, such as vine plants, said system () including a vehicle () designed to move between said rows, a geolocation device () and a processing unit (), and being characterized in that it includes a sensor () including a light source () designed to emit a light beam () and a light receiver (), said light beam () being able to intersect the branches, as the vehicle () moves forward, said light beam () having a dimension (L) greater than the diameter (D) of the thickest of the branches in said row (), said light beam () projecting, onto said light receiver (), a shadow (A, ) from which the processing unit () determines the diameter (D D of the branch (A, ) in question. 112322822222222338303333333456781104567814101511617181917191061810622222222233333333332345678186222222222233333333331719181920201512221512222215. A system () for characterizing the physiological state of woody plants ( , ) with branches (A , , C , D , E , F , G , H , I , K , A , , , D , E , F , G , H , I , K) grown in rows ( , , , ) , of the vine or fruit-tree type , said system () comprising a vehicle () designed to progress between said rows ( , , , , ) along a direction of progression X-X′ , and also comprising a geolocation device () on-board said vehicle () as well as a processing unit () , said system () being characterized in that it comprises a sensor () including a light source () designed to emit a light beam () and a light receiver () , said light source () and receiver () being mounted on said vehicle () so as to be able to be arranged on either side of a row () , so that said light beam () can intersect , as the vehicle () progresses along said row () , branches B , C , D , E , F , G , H , I , K , A , B , C , D , E , F , G , H , I , K) belonging to the woody plants ( , ) of said row ( , , , , ) , said light beam () having , in the direction of progression X-X′ , a dimension ...
