Abstract
<p>The dataset contains stand persistence data from alfalfa variety tests conducted by University researchers in the US and Canada from 1986 through 1999. All trails measured forage yield, and some trials also measured forage quality; these data are also available in PURR. The data are aggregated from the Alfalfa Variety Performance Database originally compiled in 2000 by Daniel W. Wiersma and Wayne G. Hartman (doi: <a href="https://doi.org/10.4231/PHKH-4334" rel="external" target="_blank">10.4231/PHKH-4334)</a>. This database was used to analyze long-term trends in genetic improvement of alfalfa yield and persistence&nbsp;across a broad range of environments</p> <p>The stand persistence file contains cultivar-specific stand data reported for some, but not all experiments. Units for stand data are percent of a full stand, as judged by the person conducting the experiment. Variation in this subjective judgment over time and space may be present in the data. Stand estimates were generally measured near the end of the experiment. Data are organized by variety and include trial-specific spatial (state, latitude, longitude, elevation), and temporal (year of trial, harvest number, harvest date, planting date) details. Finally, when available soil type and experimental design are also provided. A companion dataset contains the characteristics of these alfalfa varieties (doi: <a href="https://doi.org/10.4231/FMY9-6966" target="_blank">10.4231/FMY9-6966)</a>.</p>

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 it
