A quantifiable rating scale based on disease severity was developed for frogeye leaf spot (FLS) using image analysis software. The scale may be useful for estimating FLS severity in producer fields, which may aid in management decisions. Other applications of the scale include quantifying FLS severity in cultivar evaluations and foliar fungicide efficacy trials. Accepted for publication 17 February 2016. Published 22 February 2016.
