Abstract
Seedling blights and root rots caused by Pythium species account for almost US$25 million in annual losses to corn (Zea mays) production in the United States and Ontario. Variations in annual rainfall and increasing use of no-till agriculture can favor soilborne pathogens like Pythium. To date, 44 species have been reported as pathogenic to corn in the United States. The average annual corn planting date in the United States has shifted approximately 1 week earlier in the past decade, exposing young corn plants to longer germination periods of generally cooler temperatures, favoring attack by Pythium. Optimal temperatures, aggressiveness, and response to chemical and biological treatment options vary by species. This review consolidates the species of Pythium reported as corn pathogens in literature to date. It also provides an insight into management strategies and discusses variations in fungicide sensitivity observed in corn-related Pythium species.

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
