<i>Striacosta albicosta</i>(Smith), Western Bean Cutworm / Ver-gris occidental du haricot (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Western bean cutworm, Striacosta albicosta , is native to North America, where it is an important insect pest of dry beans, Phaseolus spp., and of corn, Zea mays . Western bean cutworm is considered to be a migrant pest in Canada, but it can survive the winter in Ontario and Quebec. Larval feeding by S. albicosta directly reduces yield when larvae feed on corn ears. Insecticides, transgenic corn hybrids, and cultural control tactics have been investigated to manage S. albicosta . Biological control is also of interest and various entomopathogens and generalist predators have been investigated. Several species of trichogramma egg parasitoids have also been reared from S. albicosta eggs in Ontario and Quebec. The chapter reviews surveys for Trichogramma spp. in Quebec corn fields and trials studying the efficacy of Trichogramma minutum , a potential biological control agent of S. albicosta .

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.
