Abstract
A suite of commercially available volatile compounds was tested in an olfactometer bioassay for responses by the crucifer flea beetle (Phyllotreta cruciferae). Flea beetles were inhibited by exposure to hexane, pentane, and ethanol. Allyl-isothiocyanate, a crucifer-specific volatile, was moderately attractive to spring and early fall flea beetles, but inhibitory to late fall flea beetles. Spring flea beetles were most attracted to (+)-sabinene and E-beta-ocimene, and 1-hexanol, 1-pentanol, and Z-3-hexen-1-ol were stronger attractants than allyl-isothiocyanate. Spring beetles were strongly inhibited by (-)-E-caryophyllene, beta-ionone, indole, (+/-)-linalool, (+)-limonene, E-geraniol, and (-)-beta-pinene and moderately inhibited by (-)-verbenene and hexenal. Our study showed that older leaves and flowers of Brassica napus variety AC Excel contained small amounts of beta-ionone, but seedlings did not. beta-Ionone has not been documented previously in B. napus.

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
