Abstract
Changes in tillage intensity and herbicide use can influence the incidence of weeds, insects and diseases, crop yields and economic returns. We examined the effects of six integrated weed management systems (with varying combinations of tillage methods, seeding rate, seeding date, time when weed control was applied, and annual fungicide applications on pest incidence, grain yield and quality, and economic returns for a spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)-canola (Brassica napus L.)-barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)-pea (Pisum sativum L.) rotation in the Dark Brown soils of the Moist Mixed Grassland Ecoregion of Saskatchewan. Herbicide use intensity was reduced without a significant increase in weed biomass in five of the six systems in most crops and years. The complete elimination of herbicides in one system resulted in significant crop yield losses. Certain insects were more prevalent in the cropping systems with early planting dates. Zero tillage systems produced higher yields, and yields generally declined as tillage intensity increased. For all crops, the high herbicide-zero tillage system produced the highest yields, whereas the lowest yields were obtained in the no herbicide-high tillage system. Management method had minimal impact on seed quality. Application of fungicide generally increased yields of barley, wheat and pea, but the increases were not sufficient to recover fungicide cost. High herbicide-zero tillage, medium herbicide-zero tillage, and low herbicide-zero tillage systems produced the highest net return and no herbicide-high tillage system the lowest net return, under all grain price scenarios. Key words: Agronomic, economic, tillage, herbicide, fungicide, weed management systems, weed, insect, disease

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
