- Method / resource Experienced raters had 0.92 reproducibility.
- Method / resource Experienced raters had 0.96 accuracy.
- Method / resource Inexperienced raters had 0.93 repeatability.
- Method / resource Inexperienced raters had 0.80 reproducibility.
- Method / resource Inexperienced raters had 0.90 accuracy.
- Observation Aberrant ratings clustered at intermediate decay.
- Method / resource Aberrant ratings ranged from 0.6% to 4.4% for experienced raters.
- Method / resource Aberrant ratings ranged from 6.1% to 15.6% for inexperienced raters.
- Recommendation The authors recommend training new raters with intermediate-decay examples, diagrams and experienced-rater consultation.
- Method / resource Experienced-rater agreement supports use of visual decay ratings.
- Recommendation The authors recommend multiple evaluation times until 42 days after processing and an AUDePS summary.
- Method / resource The recommended approach lets experienced evaluators distinguish lettuce accessions and identify cultivars with reduced decay.
