Development of a diagrammatic scale for the evaluation of postharvest physiological deterioration in cassava roots

Abstract: -The objective of this work was to develop a scale to assess the severity of postharvest physiological deterioration (PPD) of cassava roots, and to validate this scale for accuracy and reproducibility estimates. A diagrammatic scale (0 to 100%) for the damaged roots was analyzed according to precision, accuracy, and reproducibility. Seven evaluators (four with experience and three without it) quantified the PPD severity, with or without the scale, considering 150 roots with different levels of PPD. Without and… Show more

“…These results reinforce the precision increase in the estimates with the aid of the SADs and show the variability among the raters when using the same SADs, as reported by other studies (Bardsley & Ngugi, 2013;Venturini et al, 2015; Table 3. Mean maximum error (MEAV), in absolute value, at the 10% (values = x ± 10) and 5% (values = x ± 5) range of the estimates in relation to the actual severity value of septoriosis (Septoria passiflorae) in fruit of sour passion fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims).…”

“…However, the present results revealed higher reproducibility in the non-aided evaluations when compared with the SADs-aided evaluations. SADs, as well as most of the methods of disease severity quantification, is prone to subjectivity since raters have distinct abilities to discriminate disease severity degrees (Venturini, Santos, & Oliveira, 2015;Correia et al, 2017). Even with the use of the SADs, the accuracy and precision of estimates may be affected by other factors, such as the complexity of the disease severity, the size, the color, and the number of lesions (Kranz, 1988;Bock et al, 2010).…”

“…The SADs does not replace the experience and knowledge of characteristic symptoms of a pathogen or physiological stress. However, it can improve the efficiency of the inexperienced and experienced raters by providing a reference point for comparison (VENTURINI et al, 2015).…”
