2. The Disease Rating Index is a cumulative measure
of a variety's disease resistance to the five diseases
listed. For each disease that a variety is Highly Resis

determine the Disease Rating Index. A total of 25 would
be ideal. The varieties in the chart with a—shown for a
particular disease were tabulated as a 1.
