Abstract
Competition from weeds can reduce grain yields in both conventional and organic systems. Plant height, tillering, and elevated photosynthetically active radiation interception are some of the traits thought to help confer competitive ability in cereal grains. Crop cultivars developed before the advent of modern, high‐input agriculture may be better suited to lower soil nutrient levels and elevated weed competition. Twenty‐seven spring bread wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars, representing 114 yr of Canadian wheat breeding, were grown at conventionally and organically managed sites in north central Alberta over a 3‐yr period. Average conventional yields were 63% greater than organic yields, and average overall weed biomass was significantly greater under organic management. Earlier flowering and maturity were more important for achieving high grain yield in organic fields than in conventional fields. Greater numbers of spikes m −2 were associated with increased grain yield in organic fields but were not in conventional fields. In organic fields, increased plant height and early maturity were associated with reduced weed biomass, while strong early season vigor was related to increased yield, increased spikes m −2 , and reduced weed biomass. A competitive crop ideotype for organically grown spring wheat in northern growing regions of the Canadian Prairies should include taller plants, with fast early season growth, early maturity, and elevated fertile tiller number.

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 it
