Effects of seed size and a fungal pathogen, Colletotrichum coccodes, on population dynamics of velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti Medic.)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Experiments were conducted in controlled and field conditions to determine the effect of seed size, a fungal pathogen (Colletotrichum coccodes), and soybean interspecific competition on the population dynamics of Abutilon theophrasti (velvetleaf). Seed size differences among ten individual A. theophrasti plants significantly (P < 0.001) affected seed germination and dormancy. Higher seed viability (98%) was observed among seeds having a weight above 6.0 mg. The response of A. theophrasti plants that originated from two extreme seed size groups (small <7mg and large >12mg) to the pathogen, C. coccodes, did not change over generations, and the most vigorous plants produced heavier seeds regardless of the initial seed size or infection with C. coccodes. Under field conditions, the application of C. coccodes and the herbicide, bentazon, did not affect the vegetative and reproductive biomass of A. theophrasti plants when grown in monospecific stands. However, a split application of C. coccodes and bentazon significantly reduced the aboveground biomass and reproductive output of A. theophrasti plants when grown in competition with soybean. The frequency distributions of A. theophrasti plant height, aboveground biomass, and stem diameter were positively skewed (L-shaped) when competing with soybean. However, A. theophrasti plant height and stem diameters were negatively skewed (J-shaped) and the aboveground biomass was positively skewed (L-shaped) in monospecific stands. The allometric relationships of A. theophrasti aboveground biomass and stem diameter in comparison with plant height were curvilinear when grown alone and when in the presence of soybean. However, aboveground biomass and stem diameter showed a simple linear relationship on a log-log scale in both monospecific stands and in competition with soybean.

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; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
