infection rate/incidence


Explanation:
Hoher Besatz im Erntegut schränkt die Vermarktung sowohl für die Humanernährung als auch für die Futternutzung ein. Ab einem Richtwert von 0,1 % bei Futterroggen und 0,05 % bei Brotroggen ist eine Vermarktung der Ware nicht mehr oder nur noch mit Preisabschlägen möglich.

An infection rate of 0.1 % in forage rye and 0.05 % in bread rye makes it impossible to market these goods.

Depending on how technical the text is, one could also say impurities.

  -> Thanks, Donald
disagree  Edith Kelly: it's not the infection rate, it's called dockage in cereals. I think you mixed up with Befall, this is the infection rate. // Wendy, dockage IS an external element, look at my second reference, this gives you a definition.

  -> I have the feeling that this is an external element not a disease. See: http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/dockage:... seeds of weeds and other waste material in commercial seeds, removable by normal cleaning methods
