Abstract
Twenty one tenderometers were compared in processing plants for their accuracy of measurement using wax wafers as the test material. The results indicate that there are serious differences among the tenderometers and that the accuracy of measurement is unsatisfactory for the purpose of grading peas to establish the price paid to the grower. If a relationship of compatible trust is to remain between the processor and the grower, serious consideration must be given either to better calibration of currently used tenderometers or to devising some other method of grading and paying for peas.Keywords
