Abstract
Botrytis leaf blight, caused by Botrytis squamosa, is an economically important disease of onion. The principal means of controlling the disease is by applying fungicides. Typical fungicide programs include applications of dithiocarbamates, chloronitriles, carboxamides, and dicarboximides such as iprodione (Rovral). Onion fields were surveyed in 2002, 2003, and 2004 for insensitivity to iprodione. Tests for insensitivity to iprodione were conducted on 62, 58, and 60 monoconidial field isolates using the automated quantitative (AQ) method with a discriminatory dose of 1.78 ppm of iprodione active ingredient (a.i.) in 2002, 2003, and 2004, respectively. Overall, insensitive isolates were detected in 51% of the fields, and the proportions of insensitive isolates were 8.1, 20.7, and 18.3% in 2002, 2003, and 2004, respectively. The aggressiveness of 10 insensitive and 18 sensitive isolates and the efficacy of iprodione was tested in planta. Onion leaves were inoculated with 750 μl of a conidial suspension of 75,000 conidia per ml and incubated in a growth chamber at 15°C. Aggressiveness was measured as lesion density (average number of lesions per cm 2 of onion leaf). Lesion density varied from 2.82 to 8.04 lesions per cm 2 of leaf. There was a significant effect (P < 0.0001) of isolates on lesion density. However, there was no significant correlation between lesion density and sensitivity to iprodione (r = 0.08). When onion leaves were sprayed with 1,875, 3,750, and 7,500 ppm of iprodione, percent inhibition of lesion density was higher for sensitive isolates with means of 43.04, 61.42, and 74.59, respectively. Accordingly, percent inhibition was lower for insensitive isolates with means of 13.81, 28.26, and 44.37 for iprodione concentrations of 1,875, 3,750, and 7,500, respectively. It was concluded that the incidence of insensitive isolates was relatively low, but insensitive isolates were capable of infecting onion leaves. There was a good relationship between insensitivity to iprodione in B. squamosa populations measured in vitro with the AQ method, and the reduced efficacy of iprodione in controlling Botrytis leaf blight.

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
