Abstract
The corn wireworm, Melanotus communis (Gyllenhal), is the most important wireworm pest of sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrid) production in Florida. The feeding behavior of wireworms (larvae) at soil temperatures from 18 to 28°C characteristic of Florida sugarcane was determined in laboratory tests. In blind tests, we showed that small, smooth-skinned Baby Yukon Gold potatoes, Solanum tuberosum L., could be used to successfully detect even minor feeding by the wireworms. This technique may prove useful to other wireworm researchers. Feeding frequency and percentage of wireworms feeding increased with increasing soil temperatures. Similarly, there was a positive correlation of weight gain with soil temperature. Our data showed that, although slowing down in the winter, some feeding damage by the wireworms is expected throughout the year in Florida sugarcane. Lastly, we observed very high variability in wireworm feeding and weight change even under constant conditions. Overall, our experience in this study is consistent with the general theme that wireworm feeding and weight change are highly variable even under constant conditions.

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
