Classification of varieties for resistance based on yield loss experim
ents usually focuses on percentage yield loss comparisons with minor r
eferences to the actual potential yield. In this paper a method of cla
ssification based on joint consideration of the percentage yield loss
and actual yield potential of the varieties is presented. The method s
eeks to minimize percentage yield loss while maximizing yield potentia
