Working procedures for cocoa germplasm evaluation and selection : Proceedings of the CFC/ICCO/IPGRI Project workshop, 1-6 February 1998, Montpellier, France. Rome : IPGRI, p. 76-82.

As far as possible, the observations made or the measurements taken should be simple, accurate and inexpensive to collect.
