1 : Little resistance – Over 50% leaf area damaged, plus some stem damage. Strong reduction in vigour.
2 : Some resistance – Between 30% and 50% leaf area damage. Some reduction in vigour.
3 : Modest resistance – Between 10% and 30% leaf area damage. Slight reduction in vigour.
4 : Resistant – Up to 10% leaf area damage. Little reduction in vigour.
