Abstract
Abstract Flea beetles ( Phyllotreta striolata (Fabricius), Phyllotreta cruciferae (Goeze) and Psylliodes punctulata Melsheimer) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) are chronic threats to canola seedling establishment throughout the Northern Great Plains of North America. We conducted field studies in AB, Canada, from 2001 to 2004 at Lethbridge, Lacombe and Beaverlodge in the southern, central and northern regions of the province, respectively, to assess the impacts of seeding date (fall, April, May), and canola species ( Brassica rapa L., Brassica napus L.) on flea beetle damage to canola. Flea beetle damage was generally low at Lacombe but reached economic threshold levels at other sites. Although our results were not consistent in all years, seeding date had opposite effects on flea beetle damage to canola seedlings at the southern and northern sites. In the south, both canola species planted in April escaped flea beetle damage unlike the May‐seeded plots, which required insecticide spraying in 2003. The numbers of flea beetles on sticky cards sampled during the seedling stage of canola were also lower in early‐planted plots than in those planted in May. In the north, flea beetle damage was lower in the May‐planted plots compared with those planted earlier. To maximize yields, canola growers need to plant as early as possible in all agro‐ecoregions; our study showed that crops in the central and northern regions will be at greater risk of flea beetle damage than in southern regions.

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
