    Yes any amount of fibrous growth is concidered that being said it must have fibrous growth even if only visable with 10X. The inclusion of chalky white kernals is because of the obvious fact that there will be less flour or the inclusion of white specs in semolina (lower quality).
    There is a direct scientific correlation to visual objective assessment by WELL TRAINED INSPECTORS to the various tests performed in the lab. That is how the guide is designed.

    Problem is the lack of proper instruction on the interpretation of the guide.

      This brings up my point of attaining a #1 grade for CWAD or CWRS pretty tough! Not taking into account the obvious tombstone kernels(which are light weight in comparison to my next point). What would "appear" to be quite sound kernels could be included in the total of fusarium damage. The sad part is, the apparently sound kernels(ones with little evidence of damage or the fact you may need a 10X to verify) will likely add the most weight to the total picked and make getting under a quarter percent for CWRS or .4% for a CWAD damage for #1 grade very hard. That has been the point of my vulgar rants in other threads.

        That is why you must have fiborous growth. So that you can't mistake for bleached or some other reason for being light coloured. Also why you pick all suspected then confirm with 10X

          ....thank you!

          I have a feeling your knowledge of the CGC grading and policies are from work experience?

              The CGC had some training sessions for farmers but it was probably at the least opportune time. I hope they offer them again in the "off season".
