Abstract
ABSTRACT Bioassays of treated field-aged leaves were conducted in 1998 and 1999 to determine the efficacy of various chemicals for control of striped cucumber beetle (SCR), Acalymma vittatum. In 1998, imidacloprid (GAUCHO® 480F) as a seed treatment was evaluated on cucumber (Cucunus sativis), cv. Pioneer, and squash (Cucurbita maxima), cv. Mini Green Hubbard. Three rates, 1.0 mg, 5.0 mg and 10.0 mg a.i./seed were evaluated for squash and one rate, 1.0 mg a.i./seed, for cucumber. Cucumber seeds treated with GAUCHO at rates higher than 1.0 mg a.i./seed did not germinate in this trial. All treatments protected growing cucumber and squash seedlings from SCB feeding. In 1999, the study was expanded to include foliar, seed, and planting water treatments. A single foliar application of endosulfan (THIODAN® 4EC), azinphosmethyl (SNIPER® 50WP), cypermethrin (RIPCORD® 400 EC) or imidacloprid (ADMIRE® 240F) applied to both cucumber cv. Calypso and pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo), cv. Howden, did not adequately protect rapidly growing seedlings from SCB. GAUCHO® 480F applied to cucumber, cv. Calypso, as a seed treatment at 0.75 mg and 1.0 nig a.i./seed effectively protected seedlings. Imidacloprid (ADMIRE® 240F) applied to squash transplants, cv. New England Blue Hubbard, in the starter solution at 15.0 and 25.0 ml/1000 plugs protected seedlings in the Held. Imidacloprid as both a seed and a planting water treatment provided systemic protection of developing cucurbits from adult SCB.

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
