Abstract
Ahmed, H. U., Hwang, S. F., Strelkov, S. E., Gossen, B. D., Peng, G., Howard, R. J. and Turnbull, G. D. 2011. Assessment of bait crops to reduce inoculum of clubroot (Plasmodiophora brassicae) of canola. Can. J. Plant Sci. 91: 545-551. Clubroot, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, is a serious threat to canola (Brassica napus, B. rapa) production in western Canada because of its long-lived resting spores, high spore production potential, and negative impact on seed yield when inoculum concentrations are high. The impact of bait crops on soil resting spore populations and subsequent clubroot severity was studied in replicated trials under greenhouse and field conditions. Resting spore populations were often slightly reduced following two cycles of cruciferous crops (canola or Chinese cabbage) relative to non-cruciferous host crops (red clover, perennial ryegrass, orchardgrass, bentgrass) and non-host crops (barley, wheat). Subsequent clubroot severity showed a similar trend, but the impact was generally small and inconsistent. Bait crops had no effect on clubroot severity at two commercial field sites where populations of resting spores were high (1 × 106 spores per gram of soil). We conclude that the use of bait crops is unlikely to be an important component of an IPM program for clubroot of canola.

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.
