Abstract
In 2014, a multi-year orchard experiment of apple Malus x domestica (Borkh) was established at 13 locations in Canada, Mexico, and the United States using ‘Honeycrisp’ as the scion. Seventeen dwarf and semi-dwarf rootstock genotypes were tested, specifically: Budagovsky.10 (B.10), the Cornell-Geneva rootstocks G.11, G.202, G.214, G.30, G.41, G.890, G.935, G.969, the Malling rootstocks M.7, MM.106, and the Vineland rootstocks V.1, V.5, V.6, and V.7. The industry standard Malling rootstocks M.26 EMLA and M.9-T337 were included for comparison purposes. Tree mortality, trunk cross-sectional area, tree canopy size, amount of rootstock suckering, yield, and fruit number were measured annually. All measured parameters were influenced by location and rootstock, and the interaction of these two factors was significant. Overall, after 10 years and averaged over all locations, rootstock vigor separated into three distinct rootstock classes: those similar to M.9-T337 (G.11), those similar to M.26 EMLA (G.935, G.41, B.10, G.214, G.969), and those more vigorous than M.26 EMLA (V.1, G.30, M.7, V.7, MM.106, V.6, G.890, V.5). G.202 performance was unusual and therefore was omitted from data analysis. Cumulative yields were generally greater on trees with the highest vigor. Averaged over all locations, all Geneva, Vineland, and Budagovsky rootstocks had cumulative yields higher than the industry standards M.9-T337 and M.26 EMLA. The newer rootstocks B.10, V.5, V.6, V.7 and all the Geneva rootstocks, had good to excellent cumulative yields. G.890 stood out as having exceptional cumulative yield among all the rootstock genotypes evaluated. Averaged over all locations, cumulative yield efficiency was greatest for M.9-T337 and all the Geneva rootstocks, as well as B.10. Overall, the strong rootstock by location interaction on cumulative yield observed in this trial illustrates the importance of testing rootstocks at a regional level. These results are reflective of orchard vigor and yields after 10 years and provide apple producers with performance indicators to make more informed decisions concerning rootstock selection for their orchard training systems and planting locations using a weak scion cultivar.

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.
