Abstract
We designed and constructed two tractor-drawn ultraviolet-C (UV-C) lamp arrays housed in hemicylindrical hulls adapted to two widths of raised bed planting systems for strawberry. Onboard UV dosimeters were fitted to the arrays to monitor UV-C output in field studies to suppress strawberry powdery mildew. Nighttime applications of UV-C were evaluated in replicated-plot field plantings in Florida and in California. Suppression of powdery mildew by nighttime applications of UV-C at 200 J m −2 was equivalent to that provided by weekly fungicide applications in California and superior to that provided by fungicide treatments in Florida. Costs of construction and operation of the UV-C apparatus were estimated to allow comparisons to conventional fungicide-based suppression of disease. UV-C applications had no negative effects on yield nor any visual phytotoxic effect on plants or fruit throughout the season. The results confirm and expand upon previously published studies involving UV-C applications in different environments.

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
