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).

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
|
||||
All handlers (mixers, loaders, and applicators, or individuals performing one or more of these tasks)
|
||||
must wear:
|
||||
• Long-sleeved shirt and long pants,
|
||||
• Shoes plus socks, and
|
||||
• Chemical resistant gloves made of any waterproof material
|
||||
In addition to the PPE for all handlers, mixer/loaders supporting aerial applications to: corn, cotton,
|
||||
potatoes, and tuberous and corm vegetables must use closed mixing/loading systems that meet
|
||||
the requirements listed in the WPS for agricultural pesticides 40 CFR 170.607(d)(2)(i) &(ii) for dermal
|
||||
protection.
|
||||
Follow manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for
|
||||
washables, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.
|
||||

|
||||
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
|
||||
This pesticide is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Do not contaminate surface water through
|
||||
spray drift. Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal
|
||||
areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when cleaning equipment or
|
||||
disposing of equipment washwater.
|
||||
Surface Water Advisory
|
||||
This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. This is especially true for
|
||||
poorly draining soils and soils with shallow ground water. This product is classified as having a high
|
||||
potential for reaching surface water via runoff for several months or more after application. 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 loading of spiromesifen
|
||||
from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications
|
||||
when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur within 48 hours. Sound erosion control practices will
|
||||
reduce this product’s potential to reach aquatic sediment via runoff.
|
||||
Groundwater Advisory
|
||||
Degradates of spiromesifen have properties and characteristics associated with chemicals
|
||||
detected in groundwater. This chemical may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are
|
||||
permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.
|
||||
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
|
||||
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
|
||||
Read entire label before using this product.
|
||||
Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through
|
||||
drift. Only protected handlers may be in the same area during application. For any requirements
|
||||
specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticides.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
|
||||
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40
|
||||
CFR part 170. This standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on
|
||||
farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains
|
||||
requirements for training, decontamination, notification and emergency assistance. It also
|
||||
contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about
|
||||
personal protective equipment (PPE) and restricted entry intervals. The requirements in this box
|
||||
only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard.
|
||||

|
||||
in the Directions for Use associated with the crop.
|
||||
PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection
|
||||
Standard and that involves contact with anything that has been treated such as plants, soil or
|
||||
water, are:
|
||||
• Coveralls over long-sleeved shirt and long pants
|
||||
• Chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material
|
||||
• Shoes plus socks
|
||||
INFORMATION
|
||||
OBERON ® 4 SC INSECTICIDE/MITICIDE is a Suspension Concentrate formulation. The active
|
||||
ingredient contained in OBERON 4 SC INSECTICIDE/MITICIDE is active by contact on all mite
|
||||
development stages. However, mite juvenile stages are often more susceptible than adults. OBERON
|
||||
4 SC INSECTICIDE/MITICIDE is also highly effective against whitefly nymphs, plus it has a significant
|
||||
effect on the otherwise difficult to control pupal stage. Make applications to coincide with early
|
||||
threshold level in developing mite population. OBERON 4 SC INSECTICIDE/MITICIDE can be applied
|
||||
by air, ground equipment, or through chemigation. However, thorough coverage of all plant parts is
|
||||
required for optimum performance. Evaluate the performance of OBERON 4 SC 4 – 10 days following
|
||||
application.
|
||||
|
||||
5
|
||||
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||||
OBERON 4 SC INSECTICIDE/MITICIDE contains an active ingredient with lipid biosynthesis inhibitor
|
||||
(LBI) mode of action, classified as a Group 23 product. Studies to determine cross-resistance of
|
||||
Group 23 products with other chemical classes have demonstrated no cross-resistance. Bayer
|
||||
CropScience strongly encourages that OBERON 4 SC INSECTICIDE/MITICIDE, applied alone or in
|
||||
tankmix combination with another Group 23 product, be applied in a block rotation or windowed
|
||||
approach with products from other chemical classes having a different mode of action before using
|
||||
additional applications of other Group 23 products against the same target pest. Using a block
|
||||
rotation or windowed approach, along with other IPM practices, is considered an effective use
|
||||
strategy for preventing or delaying a pest’s ability to develop resistance to a given class of chemistry.
|
||||
Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisor and/or Bayer CropScience
|
||||
representative for additional resistance management or IPM recommendations. Also, for more
|
||||
information on Insect Resistance Management (IRM), visit the Insecticide Resistance Action
|
||||
Committee (IRAC) on the web at http://irac-online.org .
|
||||
TO DELAY INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE TAKE ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING STEPS:
|
||||
•
|
||||
R
|
||||
otate the use of OBERON 4 SC INSECTICIDE/MITICIDE or other Group 23 insecticides/acaricides
|
||||
within a growing season, or among growing seasons, with different groups that control the
|
||||
same pests.
|
||||
•
|
||||
U
|
||||
se tank mixtures with insecticides/acaricides from a different group that are equally effective
|
||||
on the target pest when such use is permitted. Do not rely on the same mixture repeatedly for
|
||||
the same pest population. Consider any known cross-resistance issues (for the targeted pests)
|
||||
between the individual components of a mixture.
|
||||
o Individual insecticides selected for use in mixtures should be highly effective and be applied
|
||||
at the rates at which they are individually registered for use against the target species.
|
||||
o Mixtures with components having the same IRAC mode of action classification are not
|
||||
recommended for insect resistance management.
|
||||
o When using mixtures, consider any known cross-resistance issues between the individual
|
||||
components for the targeted pest(s).
|
||||
|
||||
6
|
||||
o Mixtures become less effective if resistance is already developing to one or both active
|
||||
ingredients, but they may still provide pest management benefits.
|
||||
o The insect resistance management benefits of an insecticide mixture are greatest if the two
|
||||
components have similar periods of residual insecticidal activity. Mixtures of insecticides
|
||||
with unequal periods of residual insecticide activity may offer an insect resistance
|
||||
management benefit only for the period where both insecticides are active.
|
||||
• Adopt an integrated pest management program for insecticide/acaricides use that includes
|
||||
scouting, uses historical information related to pesticide use, crop rotation, record keeping, and
|
||||
which considers cultural, biological and other chemical control practices.
|
||||
• Monitor after application for unexpected target pest survival. If the level of survival suggests
|
||||
the presence of resistance, consult with your local university specialist or certified pest control
|
||||
advisor.
|
||||
• Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any additional pesticide
|
||||
resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for the specific site and pest problems
|
||||
in your area.
|
||||
• For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact Bayer CropScience LP at
|
||||
1-866-99BAYER (1-866-992-2937). You can also contact your pesticide distributor or university
|
||||
extension specialist to report resistance.
|
||||
ENDANGERED SPECIES
|
||||
The use of any pesticide in a manner that may kill or otherwise harm an endangered species or
|
||||
adversely modify their habitat is a violation of Federal law.
|
||||
Following best management practices can help reduce risk to terrestrial pollinators. Examples of
|
||||
best management practices include checking to confirm hive locations before spraying and applying
|
||||
pesticides at twilight and at night when pollinators are less likely foraging. For additional resources
|
||||
on pollinator best management practices, visit https://www.epa.gov/pollinator-protection/
|
||||
find-best-management-practices-protect-pollinators
|
||||
Pollinator protection plans are developed by states/tribes to promote communication between
|
||||
growers, landowners, farmers, beekeepers, pesticide users, and other pest management
|
||||
professionals to reduce exposure of bees to pesticides. Visit available state/tribal plans for additional
|
||||
information on how to protect pollinators.
|
||||
|
||||
7
|
||||
How to Report Bee Kills: It is recommended that users contact both the state lead agency and the
|
||||
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to report bee kills due to pesticide application. Bee kills can
|
||||
be reported to EPA at beekill@epa.gov . To contact your state lead agency, see the current listing
|
||||
of state pesticide regulatory agencies at the National Pesticide Information Center’s website:
|
||||
http://npic.orst.edu/reg/state_agencies.html
|
||||
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
|
||||
For all insects, timing of application should be based on careful scouting and local thresholds.
|
||||
For low growing berries in Crop Group 13-07G, leafy green vegetables in Crop Group 4A,
|
||||
fruiting vegetables in Crop Group 8, cucurbits, and leafy brassica greens, applications using
|
||||
mechanically-pressurized handguns are prohibited.
|
||||
Foliar Spray Applications
|
||||
Foliar applications may be made using properly calibrated ground sprayers, fixed- or rotary-winged
|
||||
aircraft or through properly designed, sprinkler-type, chemigation equipment (See Chemigation
|
||||
Systems). Thorough and uniform coverage of plants, with direct contact of the spray mixture to the
|
||||
target pests, is required for satisfactory control.
|
||||
Do not apply where thorough coverage of plant is not possible. Applications made with less than
|
||||
thorough coverage may result in slower activity and/or less overall control from a single application
|
||||
than an application made with higher gallonages.
|
||||
Ground applications must be made in a minimum of 10 gallons/A .
|
||||
Aerial applications must be made in a minimum of 5 gallons/A . Aerial applications made to dense
|
||||
canopies may not provide sufficient coverage of lower leaves to provide pest control. Higher labeled
|
||||
rates of OBERON 4 SC INSECTICIDE/MITICIDE may be necessary for aerial applications. Do not
|
||||
apply directly to bodies of water. Time applications to allow sprays to dry prior to rain or sprinkler
|
||||
irrigations.
|
||||
Chemigation applications (See Chemigation Systems ) must be made as concentrated as possible.
|
||||
For best results apply at 100% input/travel speed, for center pivots or 0.10 inch (2,716 gallons) up
|
||||
to 0.15 inch (4,073 gallons) of water/A, for other systems. Higher labeled rates of OBERON 4 SC
|
||||
INSECTICIDE/MITICIDE may be necessary for chemigation applications.
|
||||
|
||||
8
|
||||
Irrigation Timing
|
||||
If irrigation is used, conduct irrigations efficiently to prevent excessive loss of irrigation waters
|
||||
through runoff. Time the applications to allow sprays to dry prior to rain or sprinkler irrigations.
|
||||
Allow at least 48 hours between application of product and any irrigation that results in surface
|
||||
runoff into lakes, reservoirs, rivers, permanent streams, marshes, potholes, vernal pools, natural
|
||||
ponds, estuaries, or commercial fish farm ponds.
|
||||
CHEMIGATION SYSTEMS
|
||||
OBERON 4 SC INSECTICIDE/MITICIDE may be applied through irrigation systems (chemigation) only
|
||||
on those crops listed under the crop Application Directions. Do not allow chemigation to run off field.
|
||||
Types of Irrigation Systems: Apply OBERON 4 SC INSECTICIDE/MITICIDE only through sprinkler,
|
||||
including center pivot, lateral move, side roll, or overhead solid set irrigation systems. Do not apply
|
||||
OBERON 4 SC INSECTICIDE/MITICIDE through any other type of irrigation system.
|
||||
DIRECTIONS FOR ALL APPROVED TYPES OF IRRIGATION SYSTEMS
|
||||
Uniform Water Distribution and System Calibration: The irrigation system must provide uniform
|
||||
distribution of treated water. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the
|
||||
crop can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water. The system must be calibrated to
|
||||
uniformly apply the rates specified. If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State
|
||||
Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers or other experts.
|
||||
Chemigation Monitoring: A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its
|
||||
operation, or under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make
|
||||
necessary adjustments should the need arise.
|
||||
Drift: Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
|
||||
Required System Safety Devices: The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief
|
||||
valve, and low-pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water
|
||||
source contamination from backflow. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional,
|
||||
automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
|
||||
|
||||
9
|
||||
The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated
|
||||
valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to
|
||||
prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either
|
||||
automatically or manually shut down. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to
|
||||
automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops. The irrigation
|
||||
line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch that will stop the water pump motor
|
||||
when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
|
||||
Systems must use a metering pump; such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm
|
||||
pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and
|
||||
capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
|
||||
Using Water from Public Water Systems: Public water system means a system for the provision
|
||||
to the public of piped water for human consumption if such system has at least 15 service
|
||||
connections or regular serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of
|
||||
the year. Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional,
|
||||
reduced-pressure zone, back flow preventer (RPZ) or the functional equivalent in the water supply
|
||||
line upstream from the point of pesticide introduction. As an option to the RPZ, the water from the
|
||||
public water system should be discharged into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There
|
||||
shall be a complete physical break (air gap) between the flow outlet end of the fill pipe and the top or
|
||||
overflow rim of the reservoir tank of at least twice the inside diameter of the fill pipe. The pesticide
|
||||
injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow
|
||||
of fluid back toward the injection. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, normally
|
||||
closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected
|
||||
to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the
|
||||
irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down. The system must contain functional
|
||||
interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump
|
||||
motor stops, or in cases where there is no water pump, when the water pressure decreases to the
|
||||
point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected. Systems must use a metering pump, such as
|
||||
a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed
|
||||
of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
|
||||
|
||||
10
|
||||
Cleaning the Chemical Injection System: In order to accurately apply pesticides, the chemical
|
||||
injection system must be kept clean; free of chemical or fertilizer residues and sediments. Refer to
|
||||
your owner’s manual or ask your equipment supplier for the cleaning procedure for your injection
|
||||
system.
|
||||
Flushing the Irrigation System: At the end of the application period, allow time for all lines to flush
|
||||
the pesticide through all nozzles or emitters before turning off irrigation water. To ensure the lines
|
||||
are flushed and free of pesticides, a dye indicator may be injected into the lines to mark the end of
|
||||
the application period.
|
||||
Equipment Area Contamination Prevention
|
||||
Plug nozzles that are in the immediate area of control panels, chemical supply tanks, pumps and
|
||||
system safety devices to prevent chemical contamination of these areas.
|
||||
Center-Pivot and Automatic-Move Linear Systems: Inject the specified dosage per acre
|
||||
continuously for one complete revolution or move of the system. DO NOT USE END GUNS. Run the
|
||||
system at maximum speed.
|
||||
Solid Set and Manually Controlled Linear Systems: Inject during the last 30 to 60 minutes of regular
|
||||
irrigation period or as a separate 30 to 60 minute application not associated with a regular irrigation.
|
||||
DO NOT USE END GUNS.
|
||||
|
||||
11
|
||||
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||||
Aerial Applications:
|
||||
•
|
||||
D
|
||||
o not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the ground or vegetative canopy
|
||||
unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.
|
||||
•
|
||||
A
|
||||
pplicators must select nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or courser droplets
|
||||
in accordance with American Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers Standard
|
||||
641 (ASABE S641). If the windspeed is 10 miles per hour or less, applicators must use ½ swath

SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
|
||||
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE OF NEARBY
|
||||
NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
|
||||
|
||||
12
|
||||
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
|
||||
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide
|
||||
target pest control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be
|
||||
greater if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions.
|
||||
Controlling Droplet Size – Ground Boom
|
||||
• Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray
|
||||
drift. Use the highest practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is
|
||||
needed, consider using a nozzle with a higher flow rate.
|
||||
• Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target
|
||||
spray volume and droplet size.
|
||||
• Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using
|
||||
nozzles designed to reduce drift.
|
||||
Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft
|
||||
• Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers’ recommendations for setting up nozzles.
|
||||
Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.
|
||||
BOOM HEIGHT – Ground Boom
|
||||
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
|
||||
RELEASE HEIGHT - Aircraft
|
||||
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift.
|
||||
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
|
||||
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers.
|
||||
Verify that the shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area.
|
||||
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
|
||||
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of
|
||||
evaporation.
|
||||
|
||||
13
|
||||
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
|
||||
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by
|
||||
increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light
|
||||
to no wind. The presence of an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or 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 indicates good vertical air mixing.
|
||||
WIND
|
||||
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. Applicators need to be familiar with local wind
|
||||
patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift.
|
||||
Boomless Ground Applications :
|
||||
Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift.
|
||||
Handheld Technology Applications :
|
||||
Take precautions to minimize spray drift.
|
||||
FOR USE IN CALIFORNIA
|
||||
Allow growth of a vegetative filter strip within 25 feet (on which the product should not be applied)
|
||||
along lakes, reservoirs, rivers,
|
||||
permanent streams, marshes, potholes, vernal pools, natural ponds, estuaries, or commercial fish
|
||||
farm ponds.
|
||||
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||||
Mix pesticides in areas not prone to runoff such as concrete mixing//loading pads, disked soil in flat
|
||||
terrain or graveled mix pads, or use a suitable method to contain spills and /or rinsate. Properly empty
|
||||
and triple-rinse pesticide containers at time of use as stated in the STORAGE AND DISPOSAL section.
|
||||
Mixing and Loading Requirements
|
||||
To help prevent potential contamination of groundwater, use of a properly designed and maintained
|
||||
containment pad for mixing and loading of any pesticide into application equipment. If containment pad
|
||||
is not used, maintain a minimum distance of 25 feet between mixing and loading area and potential
|
||||
surface to groundwater conduits such as field sumps, uncased well heads, sink-holes, or field drains.
|

|
||||
COMPATIBILITY
|
||||
OBERON 4 SC INSECTICIDE/MITICIDE is physically and biologically compatible with many registered
|
||||
pesticides and fertilizers or micronutrients. When considering mixing OBERON 4 SC INSECTICIDE/
|
||||
MITICIDE with other pesticides, or other additives, first contact your supplier for advice. For further
|
||||
information, contact your local Bayer Representative. If your supplier and Bayer Representative
|
||||
have no experience with the combination you are considering, conduct a test to determine physical
|
||||
compatibility. To determine physical compatibility, add the required proportions of each chemical
|
||||
with the same proportion of water, as will be present in the chemical supply tank, into a suitable
|
||||
container, mix thoroughly and allow to stand for five minutes. If the combination remains mixed, or
|
||||
can be readily re-mixed, the mixture is considered physically compatible.
|
||||
ORDER-OF-MIXING
|
||||
OBERON 4 SC INSECTICIDE/MITICIDE may be used with other recommended pesticides, fertilizers
|
||||
and micronutrients. The proper mixing procedure for OBERON 4 SC INSECTICIDE/MITICIDE alone or
|
||||
in tank mix combinations with other pesticides is:
|
||||
1) Fill the spray tank 1/4 to 1/3 full with clean water;
|
||||
2) While recirculating and with the agitator running, add any products in PVA bags (See Note) . Allow
|
||||
time for thorough mixing;
|
||||
3) Continue to fill spray tank with water until 1/2 full;
|
||||
4) Add any other wettable powder (WP) or wettable granules (WG) products;
|
||||
5) Add the required amount of OBERON 4 SC INSECTICIDE/MITICIDE, and any other “flowable” (FL or
|
||||
SC) type products;
|
||||
6) Allow enough time for thorough mixing of each product added to tank;
|
||||
7) If applicable, add any remaining tank mix components: emulsifiable concentrates (EC), fertilizers
|
||||
and micronutrients.
|
||||
8) Fill spray tank to desired level and maintain constant agitation to ensure uniformity of spray
|
||||
mixture.
|
||||
NOTE: Do not use PVA packets in a tank mix with products that contain boron or release free chlorine.
|
||||
The resultant reaction of PVA and boron or free chlorine is a plastic that is not soluble in water or
|
||||
solvents.
