Abstract
The sensitivity of soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] main stem node accrual to ambient temperature has been documented in greenhouse‐grown plants but not with field‐grown plants in the north‐central United States. Biweekly V‐node and R‐stage, stem node number, internode length, and other traits were quantified in an irrigated split‐plot, four‐replicate, randomized complete block experiment conducted in Lincoln, NE, in 2003–2004. Main plots were early‐, mid‐, late‐May, and mid‐June sowing dates. Subplots were 14 cultivars of maturity groups 3.0 to 3.9. Node appearance was surprisingly linear from V1 to R5, despite the large increase in daily temperature from early May (10–15°C) to July (20–25°C). The 2003 and 2004 May planting date regressions exhibited near‐identical slopes of 0.27 node d −1 (i.e., one node every 3.7 d). Cold‐induced delays in germination and emergence did delay the V1 date (relative to planting date), so the primary effect of temperature was the V1 start date of linearity in node appearance. With one exception, earlier sowings led to more nodes (earlier V1 start dates) but also resulted in shorter internodes at nodes 3 to 9 (cooler coincident temperatures), thereby generating a curved response of plant height to delayed plantings. Delaying planting after 1 May led to significant linear seed yield declines of 17 kg ha −1 d −1 in 2003 and 43 kg ha −1 d −1 in 2004, denoting the importance of early planting for capturing the yield potential available in soybean production, when moisture supply is not limiting.

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
