| 0 | High resistance (HR) | No blast lesion |
| 1 | Resistance (R) | Only needle-shaped brown lesion s- pots |
| 2 | R | Slightly large brown spots with diameter less than 1 mm |
| 3 | Medium re- sistance (MR) | Round or oval gray lesion which shows brown edge and appear diameter between 1-2 mm |
| 4 | Medium su- sceptibility (MS) | Typical spindle lesion which has leng- th between 1-2 cm. The lesion is us- ually confined between two veins of a leaf and the lesion area occupies less than 2.0% of a leaf |
| 5 | MS | Typical spindle lesion whose area occupies the leaf area between 2.1%- 10.0% |
| 6 | Susceptibility (S) | Typical spindle lesion whose area occupies the leaf area between 10.1%- 25.0% |
| 7 | S | Typical spindle lesion whose area occupies the leaf area between 25.1%- 50.0% |
| 8 | High sus- ceptibility (HS) | Typical spindle lesion whose area occupies the leaf area between 50.1%- 75.0% |
| 9 | HS | Typical spindle lesion whose area oc- cupies more than 75.1% of the leaf area |
