Impacts of Crop Production Factors on Fusarium Head Blight in Barley in Eastern Saskatchewan
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Fusarium head blight (FHB) in barley ( Hordeum vulgare L.) is well established in the eastern Canadian Prairies and appears to be moving westward. A survey of 192 barley crops in eastern Saskatchewan was conducted to determine the impact of agronomic practices on FHB (1999–2002) and Fusarium ‐damaged kernels (FDK) (2000–2001). The most common species isolated from spikes and kernels were F. sporotrichioides , F. avenaceum , and F. graminearum , followed by F. poae and F. culmorum Disease tended to be higher under minimum‐till compared with conventional‐ or zero‐till. Fusarium sporotrichioides was favored by a previous cereal crop, whereas F. avenaceum was higher after a pulse crop, and F. graminearum decreased after a pulse but not an oilseed crop. The latter two pathogens were also more prevalent after diversified cropping sequences than after two cereal crops. Summer fallow, or summer fallow alternated with cereals, decreased FDK. Previous glyphosate (Group 9 herbicides) use was associated with increased infection by all Fusarium spp., whereas Group 1 herbicides were associated with increased infection by F. poae and F. sporotrichioides Effects of both herbicide groups depended on tillage system. Number of previous glyphosate applications was also correlated with FHB caused by F. avenaceum and F. graminearum We concluded that in eastern Saskatchewan, barley grown under minimum‐till where glyphosate had been sprayed and following diversified cropping sequences would sustain the greatest damage due to FHB and FDK caused by F. avenaceum and F. graminearum

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
