Abstract
Various nutrients are needed during the sugarcane growing season for plant development and productivity. However, traditional methods for assessing nutritional status are often costly and time consuming. This study aimed to determine the level of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K) and chlorophyll of sugarcane plants using remote sensing. Remotely sensed images were obtained using a MicaSense RedEdge-P camera attached to a drone. Leaf chlorophyll content was measured in the field using an N-Tester chlorophyll meter, and leaf samples were collected and analyzed in the laboratory for N, P and K. The highest correlation between field samples and predictor variables (spectral bands, selected vegetation indices, and plant height from Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR)), were noted.The spatial distribution of chlorophyll, N, P, and K maps achieved 60%, 75%, 96% and 50% accuracies, respectively. The spectral profiles helped to identify areas with visual differences. Spatial variability of nutrient maps confirmed that moisture presence leads to nitrogen and potassium deficiencies, excess phosphorus, and a reduction in vegetation density (93.82%) and height (2.09 m), compared to green, healthy vegetation (97.64% density and 3.11 m in height). This robust method of assessing foliar nutrients is repeatable for the same sugarcane variety at certain conditions and leads to sustainable agricultural practices in Costa Rica.

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
