Abstract
A 4-year study (1997 to 2000) was conducted to determine the sensitivities of the potato tuber rot pathogens, Phytophthora erythroseptica and Pythium ultimum, to mefenoxam (metalaxyl). A total of 2,277 tubers showing symptoms of “water rot” were collected from 16 states and 2 Canadian provinces. From these, 849 isolates of P. erythroseptica and 213 isolates of P. ultimum were obtained, and 805 and 190 isolates, respectively, were tested for their ability to grow on V8 medium amended at 0.01 to 100 μg/ml with fungicide. Isolates ranged widely in their responses to mefenoxam. The presence of resistant isolates (EC 50 > 100 μg ml -1 ) of P. erythroseptica in the potato producing areas of Maine was confirmed. The presence of P. erythroseptica isolates in Idaho and Minnesota resistant to mefenoxam is reported for the first time. The proportion of P. erythroseptica isolates resistant to mefenoxam varied from 2.9 to 36.2% between 1997 and 2000. The proportion of resistant P. ultimum isolates represented only a small proportion of the isolates tested (3.7%). A single resistant P. ultimum isolate was recovered from Washington, whereas most of the resistant isolates obtained (5 of 7) were collected in Minnesota during the final year of the study. This is the first report of resistance in P. ultimum pathogenic to potato tubers. These observations suggest that pink rot and leak could become significant problems in the future, particularly in those areas where resistance has been detected. Our results have implications for the effective management of water rot. Monitoring the sensitivity of the pathogen population to mefenoxam in all production areas should be considered and integrated as a part of the overall disease management strategy.

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
