Matrix ranking was used to evaluate rice varieties, which had been grown on trial plots. The first ranking compared 50 varieties, with several criteria, using fixed scoring with beans. The second only ranked 13 varieties, this time using pieces of coloured card. This worked better, mainly because there were fewer varieties. A great deal of discussion was generated, consensus was often reached, and the potential of ranking as a tool for monitoring and evaluation was confirmed.
