... Several disease assessment scales have been used to determine the level of the host reaction to the pathogen. For instance, in their research, McLean and Hollaway [20] used a 1-9 scale, Çelik and Karakaya [12] assessed disease severity using the 1-9 scale developed by Saari and Prescott [21], and Xue et al. [22] used a 0-9 scale for disease evaluation at adult-plant stage, where 0 represents no disease and 9 represents severe leaf damage. According to Xue et al. [22], scores <2.1 indicate resistance reaction, scores between 2.1 and 3.0 indicate moderate resistance reaction, and scores >3.1 indicated susceptible reaction. ...
