Abstract
Pale swallow-wort is a nonnative vine, invading natural areas across much of the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada. Control of this clump-forming herbaceous perennial has been difficult. We conducted a 2-yr study (2005–2006) in a heavily infested site in Chaumont, NY to assess the response of swallow-wort to triclopyr applied once as a foliar treatment (1.9 kg ae/ha) (2005 only) alone or in combination with clipping 4 wk later, followed by a single clipping in 2006. We also evaluated the response of swallow-wort to one or two clippings during each of the 2 yr. Two yr after treatments began, swallow-wort cover was lower in plots treated with triclopyr (20 ± 5%) compared with plots subjected to clipping-only (56 ± 6%) or unmanaged controls (76 ± 6%). Stem densities were also lower in triclopyr-treated plots (25 ± 5 stems/m2) than in clipping-only (188 ± 9 stems/m2) and control (178 ± 10 stems/m2) plots across three different sample dates. Seedling densities were lower in triclopyr-treated plots (160 ± 50 seedlings/m2) relative to clipping-only (1,120 ± 180 seedlings/m2) and control (960 ± 50 seedlings/m2) plots after the 2005 growing season. The cover of other plant species was negatively correlated with swallow-wort cover and was higher in triclopyr-treated plots (75 ± 3%) than in clipping-only (5 ± 1%) and control (7 ± 4%) plots in 2006. Across both years, swallow-wort in control and clipped plots produced follicles, but not in triclopyr-treated plots. Regardless of clipping frequency, clipping in June or July was not effective in reducing swallow-wort stem density, cover, or follicle production. Although a single application of triclopyr provided considerable suppression of swallow-wort after two growing seasons, application of triclopyr in subsequent years is likely required to achieve long-term control.Nomenclature: Triclopyr, butoxyethyl ester; Pale Swallow-wort, Vincetoxicum rossicum (Kleopow) Barbar., syn.

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
