The Occurrence of Clubroot in Colombia and Its Relationship with Climate and Agronomic Practices
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Clubroot, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, is a major disease of cruciferous crops in Colombia. Limited information is available, however, regarding its distribution or epidemiology in this country. The objectives of this study were to determine the occurrence of clubroot in the main regions of Colombia where cruciferous crops are grown, and to examine the relationship between pathogen inoculum density and the likelihood of field infestation with crop management practices and climatic information. In total, 127 fields were surveyed across eight departments, the pathogen inoculum density was estimated, climatic information was obtained, and farmers were surveyed on their crop management practices. More than half (53.7%) of the fields visited were found to be clubroot-infested and pathogen DNA was detected in 91.3% of the surveyed fields. The only department where clubroot symptoms were not observed was Nariño. In infested fields, P. brassicae inoculum density varied between 3 × 102 and 1 × 106 resting spores per gram of soil, with the highest inoculum density observed in Norte de Santander. All other departments had comparable spore loads. Inoculum density positively affected the likelihood of infestation of a field, and both spore loads and infestations were positively affected by the average temperature.

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.
