Image rebuild (skip scrape) / build (push) Failing after 1h37m12s
Dockerfile: self-contained image with corpus + Chroma + BM25 baked in. Drawbar's compose pulls + runs without volume mounts. Built from sources.json (labels schema), PRODUCT_NAME=crop_chem by default, HYBRID_SEARCH=true (always-on for production quality). RERANK_URL + OLLAMA_URL get set at compose time. .gitea/workflows/refresh.yml: monthly cron (1st @ 06:00 UTC) does full scrape → reindex → image push. Scrapes Bayer (~30 min) + EPA PPLS row-crop filtered (~7h). Skips reindex+push if no corpus diff. Tags pushed: :latest, :<sha12>, :corpus-<YYYY.MM.DD>. .gitea/workflows/image-only.yml: on-demand or auto on code-only pushes to main (paths: docs_mcp/, rag/, scrape/, requirements.txt, Dockerfile, sources.json). Reindexes from committed corpus, builds image, pushes. ~10 min vs ~9h full refresh. .gitignore: corpus/ now COMMITTED (4,159 labels, 265 MB of .md + sidecars). Lets image-only.yml rebuild indexes without re-scraping. chroma/ + bm25/ still gitignored (regenerable binary indexes). .dockerignore: drops venv, eval results, PLAN/README/CLAUDE.md, deploy/, .git/ — keeps the image lean. corpus + chroma + bm25 explicitly NOT in dockerignore (those go INTO the image).

|
||||
runoff that contains this product. A level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip
|
||||
between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features such as
|
||||
ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential for contamination of water
|
||||
from runoff. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when
|
||||
rainfall is forecasted to occur within 48 hours. Sound erosion control practices will
|
||||
reduce this product’s contribution to surface water contamination. This chemical
|
||||
has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in ground
|
||||
water. Use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where
|
||||
the water table is shallow, may result in groundwater contamination.

||||
Rainfall within 12 hours after application can reduce the effectiveness of
|
||||
GINSTAR® EC Cotton Defoliant.
|
||||
Some crops (e.g., citrus, lettuce, cantaloupes, and others) are sensitive to this
|
||||
chemical and additional care needs to be exercised if these crops are present
|
||||
in adjacent fields.
|
||||
Maximum of 2 applications per year.
|
||||
Minimum retreatment interval is 21 days.
|
||||
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT FOR GROUND AND AERIAL APPLICATIONS
|
||||
Use best practices to avoid drift to all other crops and non-target areas. Do not
|
||||
apply when conditions favor drift from target areas. The interaction of many
|
||||
equipment- and weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift.
|
||||
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator.
|
||||
The applicator must follow the most restrictive precautions to avoid drift,
|
||||
including those found in this labeling as well as applicable state and local
|
||||
regulations and ordinances. A drift control agent may reduce drift, however, it
|
||||
may also decrease weed control.
|
||||
In general, a decrease in droplet size or increase in wind speed at the time of
|
||||
application will result in risk to non-target organisms. Alternatively, if droplet size
|
||||
is coarser 01’ wind speeds are lower, exposures due to drift would be reduced.
|
||||
For both aerial and ground application, do not apply when wind speeds
|
||||
exceed10 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||||
Do not spray via ground or aerial application equipment during temperature
|
||||
inversions.
|
||||
Use a nozzle that produces medium spray or coarser spray according to ASABE
|
||||
(ANSIIASAE) standard S572.1 MAR2009 for both ground and aerial application.
|
||||
Additional requirements for ground applications:
|
||||
When using ground application, apply with nozzle height no more than 2 feet
|
||||
above the ground or crop canopy.
|
||||
Additional requirements for aerial applications:
|
||||
The spray boom must be mounted on the aircraft so as to minimize drift caused
|
||||
by wing tip or rotor blade vortices. The boom length must not exceed 75% of
|
||||
the wingspan or 90% of the rotor blade diameter.
|
||||
When applying to crops via aerial application equipment, use ½ swath
|
||||
displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
|
||||
Nozzles must be oriented so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft.
|
||||
Use upwind swath displacement
|
||||
When applying to crops, do not release spray at a height greater than 6 to 10
|
||||
feet above the ground or crop canopy.
|
||||
|
||||
5
|
||||
DO NOT APPLY BY AIR IF SENSITIVE NON-TARGET CROPS ARE WITHIN 100
|
||||
FEET OF THE APPLICATION SITE EXCEPT AS NOTED BELOW FOR LETTUCE
|
||||
AND CITRUS.
|
||||
SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
|
||||
The interaction of many equipment and weather-related factors determines the
|
||||
potential for spray drift. The applicator is responsible for considering all these
|
||||
factors when making application decisions.
|
||||
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
|
||||
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets.
|
||||
The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that
|
||||
provide sufficient coverage and control. The presence of sensitive species
|
||||
nearby, the environmental conditions, and pest pressure may affect how
|
||||
an applicator balances drift control and coverage. APPLYING LARGER
|
||||
DROPLETS REDUCES DRIFT POTENTIAL, BUT WILL NOT PREVENT DRIFT
|
||||
IF APPLICATIONS ARE MADE IMPROPERLY OR UNDER UNFAVORABLE
|
||||
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS! See Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and
|
||||
Temperature Inversions sections of this label.
|
||||
Controlling Droplet Size - Ground Boom
|
||||
• Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray
|
||||
volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger volumes.
|
||||
• Pressure - Use the lower spray pressures recommended for the nozzle.
|
||||
Higher pressure reduces droplet size and does not improve canopy
|
||||
penetration. WHEN HIGHER FLOW RATES ARE NEEDED, USE A HIGHER-
|
||||
CAPACITY NOZZLE INSTEAD OF INCREASING PRESSURE.
|
||||
• Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application.
|
||||
With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets.
|
||||
Consider using low-drift nozzles.
|
||||
• Controlling Droplet Size -Aircraft
|
||||
• Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles with the highest
|
||||
flow rate that provide uniform coverage.
|
||||
• Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is emitted backwards,
|
||||
parallel to the airstream with produce larger droplets than other orientations.
|
||||
AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR.
|
||||
• Nozzle Type - Solid stream nozzles (such as disc and core with swirl plate
|
||||
removed) oriented straight back produce larger droplets than other nozzle types.
|
||||
• Boom Length - Longer booms increase drift potential. Therefore a shorter
|
||||
boom length is recommended.
|
||||
• Application Height - Application more than 10 ft. above the canopy increases
|
||||
the potential for spray drift.
|
||||
BOOM HEIGHT
|
||||
Setting the boom at the lowest referenced height (if specified) which provides
|
||||
uniform coverage reduces the exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind.
|
||||
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have
|
||||
minimal bounce.
|
||||
DRIFT REDUCTION TECHNOLOGY (DRT)
|
||||
The EPA Drift Reduction Technology (DRT) Program was developed to
|
||||
encourage the manufacture, marketing, and use of spray technologies
|
||||
scientifically verified to significantly reduce pesticide drift. The use of
|
||||
DR Ts should result in significantly less pesticide from spray applications
|
||||
drifting and being deposited in areas not targeted by those applications,
|
||||
compared to spray technologies that do not meet the minimum DRT
|
||||
standard. EPA-verified drift reduction technologies (DR Ts) and their
|
||||
ratings will be added to the following webpage as they become available:
|
||||
https://www.epa.gov/reducing-pesticide-drift/epa-verified-and-rated-drift-reduction-technologies.
|
||||
|
||||
6
|
||||
WIND
|
||||
Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph (due to inversion
|
||||
potential) or more than 10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size
|
||||
and equipment type determine drift potential at any given wind speed. AVOID
|
||||
APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY OR WINDLESS CONDITIONS.
|
||||
Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator needs to be
|
||||
familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift.
|
||||
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
|
||||
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, set up equipment to
|
||||
produce larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
|
||||
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
|
||||
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions
|
||||
restrict vertical air mixing, which causes suspended droplets to remain close to
|
||||
the ground and move laterally in a concentrated cloud. Temperature inversions
|
||||
are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common
|
||||
on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form
|
||||
as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be
|
||||
indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be
|
||||
identified by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke
|
||||
generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud
|
||||
(under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves
|
||||
upward and rapidly dissipates indicated good vertical air mixing.
|
||||
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
|
||||
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the effects of wind.
|
||||
However, it is the responsibility of the applicator to verify that the shields are
|
||||
preventing drift and not interfering with uniform deposition of the product.
|
||||
ADDITIONAL PRACTICES TO LOWER THE POTENTIAL FOR DRIFT
|
||||
ONTO NONTARGET CROPS
|
||||
During applications, particularly under windy conditions, GINSTAR® EC Cotton
|
||||
Defoliant may drift to nontarget crops. To help reduce the drift potential, use the
|
||||
following practices:
|
||||
• Do not apply GINSTAR ® EC by ground or air when wind speeds exceed ten
|
||||
(10) miles per hour at the time of application. Follow local recommendations
|
||||
if wind speeds of less than ten (10) miles per hour are specified in those
|
||||
recommendations.
|
||||
• Use of low nozzle pressure (20-30 psi) is recommended.
|
||||
• Use the largest nozzle orifice possible, which permits proper deposition and
|
||||
coverage of product.
|
||||
• Do not apply GINSTAR® EC when a temperature inversion is present or when
|
||||
conditions favor an inversion prior to completing application(s).
|
||||
CARE MUST BE TAKEN WHEN APPLYING GINSTAR ® EC ADJACENT TO
|
||||
LETTUCE, CITRUS, OR CANTALOUPE.
|
||||
• Do not apply GINSTAR® EC by air within one-half (½) mile of lettuce or cantaloupe.
|
||||
Do not apply GINSTAR® EC by ground equipment within 100 feet of lettuce.
|
||||
• In addition, for citrus crops, particularly in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas, do not
|
||||
apply GINSTAR® EC by air when citrus in flush is within five (5) miles downwind
|
||||
of the point of application. Do not apply GINSTAR® EC by ground when citrus in
|
||||
flush is within one-half (½) mile downwind of the point of application.
|
||||
RUNOFF PREVENTION
|
||||
To protect the environment, do not allow pesticide to enter or run off into storm drains,
|
||||
drainage ditches, gutters or surface waters. Applying this product in calm weather
|
||||
when rain is not predicted for the next 24 hours will help to ensure that wind or rain

|
||||
TIME OF APPLICATION
|
||||
Apply GINSTAR® EC Cotton Defoliant only to mature cotton plants when the last
|
||||
boll you expect to harvest is mature. A boll can be described as “mature” when
|
||||
it is too hard to be dented when squeezed between thumb and fingers, is difficult
|
||||
to slice with a sharp knife, and/or when seeds cut in cross sections have fully
|
||||
developed cotyledons, as evidenced by an absence of jelly within the seed.
|
||||
Apply GINSTAR® EC at least 5 days prior to anticipated harvest.
|
||||
PRECAUTION: The addition of adjuvants can cause desiccation and/or leaf
|
||||
freezing during periods of high temperature. The use of compounds that
|
||||
desiccate leaf tissue is not recommended.
|
||||
Use of GINSTAR ® EC Cotton Defoliant under extremely cool or adverse
|
||||
conditions can result in less than desirable defoliation and/or growth inhibition.
|
||||
APPLICATION
|
||||
GINSTAR® EC Cotton Defoliant may be applied by air or ground equipment. Apply
|
||||
specified dosages in 10–25 gallons of spray per acre with ground equipment or
|
||||
2–10 gallons per acre by aircraft.
|
||||
DOSAGE
|
||||
Apply GINSTAR® EC Cotton Defoliant at a rate of 0.4 to 1.0 pint of formulated
|
||||
product per acre prior to harvest (see Application Rate Table). At some locations,
|
||||
following the initial GINSTAR ® EC application, it may be necessary to make a
|
||||
second application of GINSTAR® EC (DO NOT exceed 1.0 pint/acre per season),
|
||||
or an application of a standard defoliant.
|
||||
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||||
Fill the spray tank with one-half of the required amount of water. Add the proper
|
||||
amount of GINSTAR® EC Cotton Defoliant and start the spray tank agitator. Finish
|
||||
filling the tank with the balance of water needed. Maintain sufficient agitation
|
||||
during both mixing and application to ensure uniformity of the spray mixture.
|
||||
PRECONDITIONING
|
||||
FOR USE IN CALIFORNIA ONLY
|
||||
GINSTAR® EC Cotton Defoliant may be used as a preconditioner to
|
||||
enhance the activity of a defoliant application. Apply GINSTAR ® EC at
|
||||
4-6 oz. formulated product per acre. Apply in 10-25 gallons of water per
|
||||
acre by ground or 2–10 gallons of water per acre by aerial application.
|
||||
Timing of application is recommended 7–10 days prior to a defoliation
|
||||
application of GINSTAR® EC (see Application Rate Table) or the use of another
|
||||
defoliant. Refer to the second product label prior to use for complete
|
||||
recommendations.

CLEANOUT INSTRUCTIONS
|
||||
Do not allow the spray solution to dry in the application equipment. Immediately
|
||||
following application, clean all equipment (mix tanks, pumps, transfer lines,
|
||||
application tanks, sumps, booms, nozzles, and all related equipment) thoroughly
|
||||
with commercial tank cleaner and water. Consult your State Extension cotton
|
||||
specialist for recommended tank cleaners and cleaning procedures.
|
||||
The procedure for removing dried residues in the application equipment
|
||||
requires allowing the diluted solution of a commercial tank cleaner to stand in
|
||||
equipment, filled to capacity, for 7 days followed by thorough flushing.
|
||||
Should small quantities of GINSTAR® EC Cotton Defoliant remain in inadequately
|
||||
cleaned equipment, they may be released during subsequent applications
|
||||
and may cause damage to crops. To the extent consistent with applicable
|
||||
law, Bayer CropScience accepts no liability for damage to crops due to
|
||||
inadequately cleaned equipment.
