is a system used in [[plant pathology]] to assess [[Phytopathology|plant diseases]] where each plant is assigned a numerical value according to the percentage of leaf area showing disease symptoms. The Horsfall-Barratt scale was designed to compensate for human error in estimating the amount of disease present. The scale is as follows:

The Horsfall-BarrattHorsfall–Barratt scale was designed by [[James G. Horsfall]] and R.W. Barratt to compensate for [[human error]] (and logarithmic laws of perception) in estimating the amount of disease present. The scale is as follows:
 
{| class="wikitable"
{| border="1" style="text-align:center"
! Index !! Percent Affected
|-
Line 36:
|-
| 12 || 100
|}</br>
 
The scale is often used in modified form with index values from 0–11 or with different numbers of index points.
