Detrimental Effects of Neem Seed on Different Life Stages of Red Flour Beetle, Tribolium castaneum
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Fine Neem Seed Powder (NSP) was tested in three dozes, viz. 0.5%, 1.0% and 2.0% (w/w) for determination of its toxicity and detrimental effects on life stages of red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum. Fifty gram treated and untreated (control) wheat was kept in glass jars and 10 pairs of the beetles were released in each. Mortality count was made after 72 hours. LD50 calculated as 1.841% NSP in wheat (w/w). NSP served as an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR). It was observed that at 0.5% dose, the number of larvae was not very different to control but the weight of larvae was lesser. At 1.0% dose, the number and weight of larvae were significantly reduced. At 2.0% dose, both the number and weight of larvae, pupae and adults were reduced remarkably. The insect growth inhibition was increased by increasing the dose of NSP.

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.
