An improved inoculation technique for sheath blight of rice caused by<i>Rhizoctonia solani</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
To develop a simple and reliable inoculation technique allowing to differentiate minor differences in susceptibility of rice cultivars to sheath blight caused by Rhizoctonia solani Kühn, the effects of different pathogen and host factors on disease development were investigated under greenhouse conditions. The most critical factor affecting uniform development of sheath blight was the amount of inoculum. Approximately 0.2 mg of inoculum placed inside the leaf sheath with a few drops of sterile water invariably induced single discrete, uniform-sized lesions, irrespective of the type of inoculum used (i.e., mature sclerotium, immature sclerotium, or mycelium). Considering the ease of maintaining uniformity of inoculum, the use of immature sclerotia is recommended. This inoculation method is not only simple, rapid, and highly reproducible, but it also allows to distinguish minor differences in susceptibility under greenhouse conditions.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
