| To Color Classes |
| Best-of-class (BC). We select the best performer in each class, based on the "overall rating". This rating may not be high, if the class does not perform well; also, the rating may not be significantly different from one or more members of the class. If two or more members of a class received the same overall rating, we used another rating to determine BC. If only one cultivar was entered in a class, it automatically becomes uncontested BC. See "Research Papers". Data has been taken to spring 2002; papers are being converted to PDF or in the process of review, and will be added to the trials web page soon. Other "honors" received for these cultivars maybe added at a later date, time permitting. |
|
Rating System |
|
Foliage and flower ratings are combined to generate the "overall rating" listed below for each cultivar within its class. The rating is a 1 to 7 scale: 7- all foliage and flowers free from defects; 4- average foliage and flower condition, minimal plant defects or pest damage to tissue, but still acceptable; 1- foliage and/or flowers with severe defects and/or severely infested with pests and damage unacceptable, making plant undesirable. Plant death due to soilborne pests may be factored into the overall rating, if it is a significant problem. Refer to "Research Papers" for details. Generally, ratings with an "a" are the best in a class. If cultivars share the same letters, those ratings are considered to be similar to each other. If there are no letters, there is only one cultivar in a class or all the members of a class have similar ratings. |
