ON-FARM RESEARCH TO IMPLEMENT MB ALTERNATIVES: AN AREA WIDE INITIATIVE
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Methyl bromide-dependent plasticulture crop production has been an integral part of large and small farm operations throughout the Southeastern United States (SEUS). Farm owners and managers know the need to explore and implement alternative soilborne pest management programs to limit crop losses with the current phase out of methyl bromide, according to the Montreal Protocol. We have in place an experienced interdisciplinary and multi-state team to develop an integrated research, education, and extension program to help plasticulture growers implement alternative fumigants or farm management systems. Advances in alternative options have been facilitated by strong cooperation amongst Grower Association organizations, individual growers, private consultants, custom applicators, University/USDA-ARS and Cooperative Extension personnel, and national industry and scientific experts. A primary limitation to adoption, aside from economic and efficacy considerations, is grower experience and comfort level with implementing alternatives, primarily fumigants, in a site-specific manner. Recently, an Area-wide Pest Management Project for Methyl Bromide

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.
