Pepper weevil, Anthonomus eugenii (Cano)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Anthonomus eugenii, or the pepper weevil, is a significant pest of Capsicum spp., causing major yield losses by destroying blossom buds and immature fruits. Native to Mexico, it has spread to Central America, the Caribbean, French Polynesia and Hawaii, USA. The weevil also affects other Solanaceae, including aubergines and some wild Solanum species. Economic impacts are severe, with up to 100% crop loss reported in some areas. In North America, greenhouse outbreaks have occurred, including one in British Columbia (Canada) and another in the Netherlands, both successfully eradicated. There has been no classical biological control implemented against A. eugenii. However, several hymenopteran parasitoids are promising candidates. Catolaccus hunteri, Triaspis eugenii and Urosigalphus sp. are notable for their effectiveness, with T. eugenii showing parasitism rates of 18-40%. Other associated parasitoids in Mexico include Bracon mellitor, Euderus sp. and Eupelmus sp., among others, highlighting potential biological control options for future management strategies.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
