Response of processing carrot to metribuzin on mineral soils in Nova Scotia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Metribuzin was examined as an alternative to linuron and prometryn when prometryn-treated processed carrot in Atlantic Canada in the 1990s could not be exported to the United States, where prometryn was not registered for this crop. Field studies demonstrated that 280 g ha-1 metribuzin applied after the three-leaf crop stage resulted in only minor injury and no yield loss for both a metribuzin-tolerant (Caro-Choice) and -sensitive (Dominator) cultivar. Metribuzin applied either pre- or post-emergence controlled two Matricaria species, chickweed [Stellaria media (L.) Vill.] and shepherd’s-purse [Capsella bursa-pastoris (L.) Medik.], equivalent to approved prometryn and linuron treatments. Controlled environment studies were conducted to examine the effect of crop growth stage, temperature and soil pH on metribuzin injury to carrot. Differential tolerance between the two cultivars occurred only up to the three-leaf stage. Under controlled environment conditions, carrot injury to metribuzin increased threefold as soil pH increased from 6.5 to 7.4. There was little injury when metribuzin was applied postemergence under cool temperatures (15/10°C), but injury increased from 25 to 85% under 20/15°C and 30/25°C regimes. Lower temperatures and naturally low pH soils contribute to carrot tolerance to metribuzin under Nova Scotia conditions. Based on this research, metribuzin at 280 g ha-1 applied after the three-leaf stage of carrot was approved for use in the Atlantic provinces. Key words: Daucus carota L., cultivar tolerance, soil pH effects, temperature effects, weed control

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
