Abstract
The objective of this study was to assess the interactions between Scytalidium parasiticum (Sp) and Ganoderma boninense, the causal agent of basal stem rot (BSR) in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis). When compared with Scytalidium ganodermophthorum and Scytalidium sphaerosporum, Sp showed greater inhibition towards all Ganoderma isolates during dual-culture assays. At the interaction zone, coiling of host hyphae, formation of short lateral enlarged contact structures, and production of appressorium-like organs organs were observed in Sp on G. boninense. These were followed by the degradation, shrinkage, and deformation of G. boninense mycelia. Sp reduced mycelial survival and fruiting body regeneration of G. boninense. Sp's non-volatile metabolites suppressed the growth of G. boninense. Our results show that Sp could be a necrotrophic mycoparasite of G. boninense. Nursery experiments revealed that Sp was non-pathogenic to oil palm seedlings, and it could suppress Ganoderma infection and reduce disease severity. Sp increased the height of palms in the positive control with non-Ganoderma-inoculated rubber wood block and Sp inoculum compared to similar control without Sp. Leaf area was greater in the G. boninense G8 inoculated palms when Sp was present compared to without Sp. These results show that Sp might be a potential biocontrol candidate against BSR.

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
